ball joints

[Z-point]

Yeb, 120 euro per ball joint and even then you won’t get a nut. Consider I’ve got 20% discount, I did not have to pay the taxes!!:classic:

Nissan prices are high therefore I asked Courtesy what they charged.

Living in Europe is not easy

:stupid:

Hi friends

have you visit this dutch page before ?

http://www.absworld.com/partsearch_main.html

They sell many aftermarket parts and the price is given in Euro.

Your Ball joints are there for 71.83 € each.

Hi don't know if I can help but on my 240z I changed the ball joints and I did notice that the crown nut was a bigger diameter than the original ones. I thought maybe it would not go back into the strut as a result but I didn't have troulbe with it. However with my ball joints I got The Crown Nut and the Pin that goes through that with the ball joints.

I think I only paid $60 for the ball joints $120 for both sides.

That's in AUS$$$ so would be really cheap compared to US$$.

The tie rod ends is what stung me $198 for both :mad:

GermanZ I love the leather Datsun seats you have absolutely magnificent. It's one thing I've envied of Porsche owners is there high quality interior. I'd love to treat my Z to the same goodies and get my door skins done the same.

For future reference, you can get the wasp brand tie rod ends in Aus for a shade under 50bucks each, seem reputable, and many people who have used them have had no problems

Hello, Have to share you this for future reference. Too late for some of you but there is going to be the time.

I bought new balljoints from motonet.fi which is some what cheap parts store in finland. The joints are the same as in 510 Datsun if I remember correct. These do not have the greaseknob as my originals did and as yours do Zpoint.....

Well they fit fine. As you can see they are from 72 forwards.

240Z/260Z S30 72--77 Alapallon.. V/O.17-1029 16.48 Euro/each

The site is in Finnish. If anyone is interested I can translate and give the info of the parts that you are interested in.

Alan can you enlighten us with the rare spares website?

I could not find it at rarespares.com.au or rarespares.com hope they don't come up as links.

I'll give google a shot and if I find it post it here for the others.

Thanks.
