1969 to 1983 z/zx 1/2 shaft u-joints are the same:

Thanks again Blue! Think I'm gonna go look for some donor shafts that I can rebuild off the car.

If you have a hard time finding some, send me a PM and I will look thru the shop. I probably have an extra set...

I still have the clunk after replacing about everything. One thing I noticed is that the mustache bushing stub mount bolt is tapered and it leaves a pretty good gap at the bottom. I attached a picture so you can see. I'm not sure how to remedy this if it were this the reason for the clunk.

Found U joints, got a press from work, got ready to replace the u joints, and realized the fackin bolts on the drivers side half shaft vibrated loose. FAIL! 

 

-Tightened them up, thud was gone!

-Next day, thud came back. 

 

-Driveshaft came loose. (Been having that issue, I ordered new bolts. PO just stuck random hardware in there.) 

 

-Still have a little thud with the driveshaft tight now. 


This car is a pain in my arse  I'm just gonna throw a new joint on every shaft this spring since they don't seem loose now. Everything is tight, probably just had the driveshaft vibrate loose again. When the new bolts come in, we'll see what it does.

 Adjust the slave cylinder where the clutch slips a little.  No more THUD. 

 

Just kidding.  "fackin bolts", that's funny, reminds me of that old Michael Keaton movie "Johnny Dangerously".
