Rebuilding suspension, what do i need?

Recommended Posts

I have purchased a urathane bushing kit front and rear and steering rack, it has tie-rod ends and ball joints also. While i am doing this i am planing on replacing the struts, wheel bearings and seals. Is there anything else that i should replace. Do new struts come with boots? Is there a bearing at the top of the strut that should be replaced? I havn't done work on a 240z's suspension before so i don't know exactly what there is that will need replacing. This car sat for 13 years before i got it so i am expecting that most what could be replaced needs to be replaced. Thanks.

Sounds like you have most of what you need for the front. Yes, there is a bearing that sits atop the front strut. I decided to replace mine while I had it apart. They don't cost all that much. The rear has a spacer instead of a bearing. It's made out of rubber and has probably disintegrated already so you may not even see one in there but it should be replaced as well. As far as I know the only shocks that come with boots are KYBs. I will be installing these same boots, which are available seperately on my Tokico struts. They are $12 each at RockAuto.com.

Also, use the search feature on here. Most of this has been covered ad-nauseum.
