front ball joint size.

[hoov100]

I need the size of the fattest part of the taper on a z32 front lower ball joint, also i need a picture of the spindle where the ball joint slips through with a tape measure next to it, if anyone has one laying around.

I have one laying around. PM me a reminder and I'll shoot a picture of it tomorrow and post it.

Sorry, I can’t find the aluminum portion laying, just the stamped steel upright laying around.

I did snap some pics of the front of my Z-32 V-8 mock-up-mule.

 

You can see the double A arm design and how the upper arm is above the tire.

 

 

 

 

In this picture, you can see the lower ball joint circled in BLUE. The RED circle is the upper “King-pin pivot” and is not a ball joint. It’s a fixed pivot with two roller bearings, just like wheel bearings, that allow the wheel to pivot/steer, but the upright not to bend.

 

 

 

Here is some more info of the front suspension, courtesy of the Z-32 online service manual.

I know that is not exactly what asked for, but hopefully it will help.

i think 240sx spindles are going to be my best bet for this, thanks to all.

alright, instead of starting a new thread, can anyone tell me the bolt spacing on the rear calipers?

 

 

 

(also i AM going with s13 front spindles, using z32 front hubs and brakes)
