Suspension: 240 vs 260

[Mr Camouflage]

Is 260z suspension better than 240z suspension?

I think i read somewhere that the 260z rear suspension has longer travel, and you can lower it better without getting problems. are 2+2 struts different to 2 seater struts.

Is it an easy swap?

Or it it better to go for aftermarker replacements?

Also my front wheels seem to have excessive negative camber.

I Think the bearings are worn, or could it possibly be a bent stub axle? the previous ower was under the impression it was bent by the owner before him. I cant see any damage to the strut tower, but the frame rail is a bit banged up underneath, though that could just be from jacking the car up incorrectly.

FRont struts on a 260 are "beefier"" than 240.

The rear I think is the same.

I don't know when they changed over in your market, but the later 260's will have a larger diameter and longer strut housing.

It possibly will coincide with the introduction of the 2+2 models, as I am sure that the 2+2 springs are considerably longer than the 240 springs.

2 seater and 2+2 strut housings are more than likely the same, with only a longer spring on the 2+2's.

Your negative camber problem could be partly due to bad control arm bushings if they are still the original rubber ones.
