Dp351zcar Posted October 30, 2001 Share Posted October 30, 2001 I was looking at my 71 stub axles and my set of 83 stubs. What was I was wondering is which stubs are stronger? I have heard how the 240s are not as strong as the 280Zs and break more ofen due to wear and age... The 280zxt stubs are a little smaller around where the bearing rides but they are the same length as the 240 stubs, are they stronger or weaker. Would it be worth finding bearings that fit so I could use these if they were stronger? Just thinking Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pparaska Posted October 31, 2001 Share Posted October 31, 2001 The spline count and diameter of the splined section of the 240Z and 280ZXT stubs are the same, but I don't know if it'd be worth while, especially since there's a diameter DECREASE from the 240 to 280ZXT in that bearing area.

Modern Motorsports Ltd Posted October 31, 2001 Share Posted October 31, 2001 "but they are the same length as the 240 stubs" Hmm, Scottie and at least one other confirmed that 280ZXT stubs were longer than 280Z stubs and thus that's why 280ZXT stubs when used on 70-78's with CV axles can get bound up.......and why I'm making this adaptor to go with 280Z stubs and CV axles. The bolted up companion flange location is same position b/t 240 and 280ZXT? Should be ~2" difference from what I was told. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
