MSA Front Air Dam on 78 280z 2+2

[PresaMax]

Hey folks. I just put on an MSA Type 3 Air Dam on my 78 280z 2+2. I opted for the one w/ a grill already installed. Save your $30. It's poorly attached (staples w/ bondo) and doesn't look that great. The Air Dam fit pretty good w/ a little bit of timming and it bolts up pretty secure. The thing I discovered is the clearances between the front tires are different. More specifically, the passenger side front wheel is closer to the front fender/air dam than the driver side. I asked 2 different alignment shops about this and they both said the '76-'78 280z all have that feature (meaning the passenger side wheels are pushed more forward than the driver side wheels). I guy suggested a caster kit to solve the problem but I've yet to find one. Any suggestions?

On a stock setup, shims or washers are used to adjust caster. That being the case, you'd have to shim the driver's side to move it forward to match passenger side, as you'd have to turn down the TC rod itself to move it back. More caster isn't necessarily a bad thing, anyway. If you opt for an adjustable control arm/TC rod setup, you have a ton of adjustment on tap.

Thanks for the advice. Any suggestions on where to get a good adjustable control arm/TC rod?

Arizona Z car sells them I think.

 

 

 

Youll have to post pictures in the 2+2 Owners thread.

Thanks for the info re: Arizona Z car. Their control arms look very nice (and expensive). I'll be posting pics of my Z in a few days. Thanks again for all the help and advice.
