S30Mike Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 Scootag, from the outside they look remarkably similar to those pictures you posted.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoota G Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Yea they will but once you undo the nut on the strut you'll either have inserts or it will look like those photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borboyous Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Hey guys! I am currently in the middle of restoring my suspension on my 2+2 and read this thread before attempting it - it's bloody helpful! I have a question though! It turns out my car has the original 'wet legs' so I have taken them apart to replace fluid etc, however, it turns out that one of my front 'legs' has been running dry for a while by the looks of things, there is wear on the bush and shaft (see pics) and the seal on the top has worn as a result (probably the reason for it being dry - see pic). I was wondering if there is a rebuild kit available for these items? Are the bushes and seals still available from anywhere? I know it's a big ask but I can only hope!

C.A.R. Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Try asking your local parts supplier or try calling a Zed parts specialist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zrevival Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I've read this thread with much interest - and i'm now in the process of redoing my 'wetlegs' for my 260z. Three questions: 1) did we establish if there is a difference in atf fluid amounts for 260z struts vs. 240z struts? 2) When reloading the atf - does it all get loaded in the 'inner' tube assembly? 3) Is there any 'bleeding' required - if so, what is the recommended way to do this? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomo260 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I have just done this work with the wet legs in my 2+2 and found when emptying out the old crap that was in there (they varied from 250mls to 330mls) I settled on 400mls each for front and rear. Combined with the lowered King spring that were fitted at the same time the difference is fantastic. At first I thought it to be too hard but after a few drives it is actually not as hard as my VZ C'dore with FE2 susp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zrevival Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Thanks for that - very useful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
