Rear Strut Assembly

[DTF260]

After a Strut assembly for the rear right hand side for my 260z to get it back on the road until i can afford to go down this track http://arizonazcar.com/strassy.html

Ive gone and bent the to arms that connect to the control arm... Heres a pic of what im after

I have one here in Melbourne if you can't find one locally..

hmm, you wouldnt happen to know what the postage on it would  be would you?
Im after a sort of 'band-aid' fix on the cheap. Im hoping to upgrade to the the complete AZC setup when funds allow (in a month or two) and it would be nice to get it on the road for the rego thats due soon.

I can probably send it with hunter xpress for about $20 to a business address. Weight would be around 10ish kg's?

sounds good, how much you after for the whole thing inc postage?
what do you mean business address?

Are you sure it's not the spindle that's the problem?

[Zedman240]

If your zed is crab crawling, its the brackets in the pic below that have to be checked to make sure they are exactly 90'. If either or both are bent, they have to be replaced.

Item #5 in pic below.

Im positive the spindle is ok, the wheel was pushed from the outer rear edge and it seem it was the two arms on the strut assembly that gave up.
I had a look under the rear yesterday and it seems they brackets are still fine, although its tough to tell without replacing the obviously bent bit first.
Could I grab that assembly off you still Dimitri?

No probz..I thought it was impossible to bend that strut casting for the rear axle.

Using the outer edge of the wheel to stop the car from 10 or so km/h seems to do the trick. i hope thats all thats been bent.
