texasz Posted January 27, 2004 Share #1 Posted January 27, 2004 Does this look like the kind of sway bar for a 240Z that does NOT require drilling the chassis to mount? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/9915-rear-sway-bar/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't look like the one that I have. Mine mounts to the suspension support brackets, not the chassis Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/9915-rear-sway-bar/#findComment-66026 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Laury Posted January 27, 2004 Share #6 Posted January 27, 2004 Allen, That is a front-mounted bar. So, 71,72, 73(?) U.S. Spec cars will not have the brakets for mounting this bar and require drilling.Now, your third photo shows a Z body With the factory front-mounted rear sway bar (wow tonge twister). I'm guessing that's a later car.Steve (ZVoiture) did a lot of reseach 2 months ago, you should search the forums for his posts. I believe he found that the later bars would not fit the early cars, even if you drilled and installed brackets, as the floorpan was different and the later bars got blocked by the snout fo the diffy.I can tell you, that the MSA bar (Drill to mount) bar on my car has a major bend in the middle to clear the diffy.

Ed Posted January 27, 2004 Share #7 Posted January 27, 2004 My 73 has those same factory mounts on the chassis. I had no problems installing it. No drilling. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/9915-rear-sway-bar/#findComment-66034 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed:Were you mounting a bar from, or meant for a early 260, or an aftermarket bar?Steve (ZVoiture) inidcated that a 280 rear bar wouldn't fit on a earlier model Z car.carl Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/9915-rear-sway-bar/#findComment-66040 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmack Posted January 27, 2004 Share #9 Posted January 27, 2004 I have the same sway bar that BambiKiller has. Mounts to the rear of the differential on the support bars for the differential. Here is a pic. You can just see the sway bar in the picture. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/9915-rear-sway-bar/#findComment-66078 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Posted January 27, 2004 Share #10 Posted January 27, 2004 I pulled my bar from a 260. Here is a picture of the factory mount. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/9915-rear-sway-bar/#findComment-66091 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmack Posted January 27, 2004 Share #11 Posted January 27, 2004 mperdue,I can't rightly tell you who makes the bar I have. Mine was on the car when I bought it back in '93. Carl's looks much newer than mine, maybe he bought his from somewhere other than an individual.

Hi Michael & KenI can't tell who manufactured the one I own as I got it from eBay, BUT I can tell you that Ground Control and Suspension Techniques sell rear sway bars similar to mine that mount to the vertical brackets where you mount the rear part of the A-arms. I n previous thread started by texasz regarding rear sway bars, I provided a link to a picture showing the kit sold by Ground Control.
