jacob80 Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Hey guys, Well I have come across the copper washers that fit somewhere within the stub axle assembly. I've read that it reduces the metallic scraping sound or something of the sort in later 240z's. My question is: I have modern motorsports CV adapters, but where will this copper washer install? Does it go in the order: Lock Nut>Washer>Adapter/Companion flange>Copper washer? Does the copper washer fit over the spines of the stub axle? Thanks!!

jacob80 Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 Just to confirm, just slip the copper washer over the stub axle before installing the companion flange onto the splines, correct?? I read the thread, but I created this post to be sure. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacob80 Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 Guys, I read that the copper washer is used to prevent the metallic grinding sound in later 240z's. However, I installed 280z 27 spline stub axles, and the copper washer would not fit over the splines. I installed the stub axles without, and the sound isn't going to bother me, just as long as no potential damage is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26power Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Good deal! That's exactly what I would have done. At least others who run up on this issue can now reference this thread... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
