April 2, 200420 yr comment_75297 My 1/73 has the mounts (as all 73's should), but does not have a sway bar. I was under the impression that no 240's came with a rear sway bar stock.I was stripping some parts from a 78' 280Z with an R200 differential and saw the rear sway bar, so I nabbed that too. Unfortunately, there is a minor difference between the two S30's. The mounting points for the 280Z are much lower than the 240. So the sway bar is straight. To use the stock sway bar mounts, the sway bar must have a section in the middle that dips down so it can clear the differential.I think you can find a sway bar that would use the stock mounting points for a 73', but I think it would be better to buy a kit that mounts the bar off of the supports the rear mounting points of the a-arms. Like the one Arizona Z Car has. It's a ground control kit, I think.

I was under the impression that no 240's came with a rear sway bar stock. 240Z's destined for the North American market never came with a factory rear bar. Some chassis delivered as 73 models in the US did have the mounts, but there was never a bar supplied in those mounts for US delivery. 240Z's in some other markets around the world DID receive a rear sway bar from the factory.

April 2, 200420 yr comment_75302 So...do you guys think I can put a 280Z rear bar on my 72? I have access to three junkers with bars.Thanks, Chris Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/10646-did-the-71-240-have-rear-sway-bar/?&page=2#findComment-75302 Share on other sites More sharing options...
April 2, 200420 yr comment_75305 You would have to move the mounts to a lower postion to get the stock 280Z sway bar to fit. If there isn't a mount, you would have to buy some or cut them off of the 280.

April 2, 200420 yr comment_75342 ...also, to answer your question, that would be the main bar mounts. The ones welded to the frame.
