June 19, 200618 yr comment_171569 I think ST made them yellow 15 years ago. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/20481-yellow-sway-bar/#findComment-171569 Share on other sites More sharing options...

June 20, 200618 yr comment_171595 A picture would be the best way, even them there are a lot of similarities between the different manufacturers. The best design for a 240 mounts the bar behind the diff on the suspension uprights. If it is mounted in front of the diff I wouldn't bother.

He claims that occasionally the half-shafts will contact the rear mounted rear sway bar, but I have seen no indication of that.

June 20, 200618 yr comment_171681 There is always the possibility that the previous owner had it painted/powdercoated yellow. Just something to keep in mind.

June 20, 200618 yr comment_171683 Funny, my Z technician prefers the forward mount like the 280Z. Mine is a Suspension Techniques and is rear mounted. He claims that occasionally the half-shafts will contact the rear mounted rear sway bar, but I have seen no indication of that.The 280s are made for a front mounted bar and have a mount which hangs down below the frame rail. The 240s do not. When I pulled my rear MSA bar off which mounted in front of the diff, it was binding BIG TIME on the frame rail. I think that if the mount had been down lower this wouldn't have been an issue, but I haven't checked on a 280 to verify this. I know John Coffey tells people to use the rear mounted bar on 280s as well, I don't know if he came to this conclusion through trial and error or what, but if it involves Z suspension and he has an opinion it tends to be right.If you have a ST 240 rear bar and you use the supplied end links, the rear mounted bar shouldn't hit the half shafts, at least I haven't heard of it. What can happen is that the bar can bind on the uprights behind the diff. This is easy to fix by spacing the bar back 1/2". That's the only issue that I'm aware of with the rear mounted bar.I got pretty hung up on making the swaybar adjustable, strengthening the front frame rail, and getting it as friction free as possible and came up with this: http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=105596 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/20481-yellow-sway-bar/#findComment-171683 Share on other sites More sharing options...
June 21, 200618 yr Author comment_171836 Thanks. It goes behind the diff to the rear of the car. If you saw this car you'd seriously doubt the PO painted or coated this.
