May 24, 201212 yr Author comment_391017 will 280 tie rod fit? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/43315-240z-inner-left-side-tie-rod-replacement/#findComment-391017 Share on other sites More sharing options...
May 24, 201212 yr comment_391018 This is a well known problem with supply. Best solution is to get a new right inner and outer and put them on the left side. This is the solution of choice for many previously discussed here.Yes, 280 is the same as 240, up to 78. There are other solutions to adapt other tie rods to our cars documented on hybridz.org, but nothing simple.

May 24, 201212 yr comment_391038 The problem is not finding listings for the correct right side parts, the problem is actually ordering and getting one! No one seems to have stock.

June 1, 201212 yr comment_391757 That's it. Just mark the outer to remind you or your mechanic/alignment shop that the threads are reversed.
