scotta Posted November 8, 2020 Posted November 8, 2020 I'm in the process of rebuilding the 72 Fairlady Z rear end. Before the tear down the rear camber was different left to right. I now know why. One or both of the rear struts are bent. Height from top of wheel nut studs to strut opening - angle of strut tower to wheel plane Left 213mm - 14.6 degrees Right 197mm - 13.1 degrees. a difference of 16mm / 1.5 degrees Anyone know what the correct one is / i.e. which one is bent?

You assinged the wrong figures to the struts, BTW Quote

C.A.R. Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 51mm Struts are hard to find... Screw a gland nut in it, and press it back into it's correct position. Quote
