HappyZ Posted May 1, 2020 Share #1 Posted May 1, 2020 Here's something to lighten your day. Until I bought a second 1971 240Z and had the two of them side-by-side, I may not have spotted it. I know you more seasoned Zed Heads will get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConVerTT Posted May 1, 2020 Share #2 Posted May 1, 2020 Haha! ??? So is that on the white car or the red one ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyZ Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted May 1, 2020 haha...it's the red one. It's been on jack stands for awhile. I removed the half shaft from one side. Being new to Zeds, I thought I'd do one side at a time. Ok @ConVerTT what's wrong with the pic? ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConVerTT Posted May 1, 2020 Share #4 Posted May 1, 2020 (edited) Arms are backwards? Channel should face upwards. My question would be are they just upside down or are they reversed right-left? Edited May 1, 2020 by ConVerTT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyZ Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share #7 Posted May 1, 2020 Correct on the half shaft. @ConVerTT had me thinking about the control arms, but FSM shows them to be correct. To be honest, I didn't know that they were the same arm, but flipped for the left side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question would be are they just upside down or are they reversed right-left? Nope. Both rear arms are made the same. On one side, the channels face up and on the other side, they face down.

Captain Obvious Posted May 1, 2020 Share #9 Posted May 1, 2020 So about the half shafts... Functionally, does it really matter which way they go on? I mean, they've got U-joints at both ends, and the elongation/compression joint shouldn't care. I'm going to keep putting them on the right way, but is there are reason it really matters?

Captain Obvious Posted May 1, 2020 Share #11 Posted May 1, 2020 I didn't either until I started frequenting this place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyZ Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share #12 Posted May 1, 2020 (edited) @Captain Obvious I was wondering about the half shaft too, but I'll flip it around. It's a good physics question for sure. Edited May 1, 2020 by wadelester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
