Half Shaft Flange/Yoke 1970 240Z


Recommended Posts

Hi All.  Need some help.  Replacing U Joints on my '70 240.  We noticed that the half shaft flange/yoke (4 bolts) had a lot of play and were worn out.  I can't find the flanges anywhere....Summit Racing might have one with the proper measurement's???  We are checking.  Am I going to have to buy used half shafts and take the flanges/yokes off?  Does anyone have any experience/advice with this?  I would appreciate any help at all.  Thank you.

What area is worn out?  The yokes have a centering ring, the bolts are just for clamping.

Any halfshaft through the 1983 280ZX will work.  Doesn't have to be a 240Z shaft.  There are differences over the years but the fitment at the ends is the same.

Nope....they have them for the DRIVE shaft....I'm looking for the ones for half shaft.

Funny, but I just noticed that 26th-Z actually described and showed the same part that you said you needed.  The DRIVE shaft is the half shaft.

The main one down the middle is called a propeller shaft.

Not clear what your picture is of.  Is it from one of the two on the sides or the one down the middle?

Decoding and extrapolating, it looks like you want the side aka "half", shaft parts.  "Drive" shaft in Nissan FSM terms.  I'd get them from Terrapin, they'll be correct factory made parts.  ZCD might not know exactly what they're selling.

Z Car Depot does a surprisingly poor job of describing some of their parts, for being a specialty Z car store.  It's not a place to go to learn the terminology.  Easy to see how 26th-Z could get side-tracked.

The picture I used was not from Z Car Depot but their part may very well be from the drive shaft.  I think they called it a propeller shaft yoke.  Anyhow, Jeffrey, you're on the right track with Terrapin.
