How do you adjust a 280Z rear wheel toe?

You don't, unless you fork out the $$$ for adjustable rear transverse links. Take a look at your rear suspension on your 280Z.......you will see there is no means of adjustment.

A rear tire out of alignment could be blown strut, no? What about camber adjustment, doesn't that correct toe in and out. That's if you have adjustable struts I'm guessing.

Anyone have a picture of a transverse link? I'd like to see that.

On a stock 240/260/280Z there are no alignment adjustments on the rear suspension.

No Camber

No Caster

No Toe

Vicky, what have you been smoking my dear?

First you have to be sure that there isn't something wrong with your rear end that was caused by an accident. If one of your wheels is "off" then you could have a damaged control arm or something else. There are no adjustments that can be made.

There is an aftermarket alternative.

To adjust rear end toe in you can use adjustable control arm bushings made by G-machine. Victoria British sells them Part # 88-701.

I always thought the section between the control arms was called the transverse link?

My husbands car has the adjustable (G-Machine) rear toe. He explained the whole thing to me this morning, the bushings, how he can adjust, etc.

Sorry Tom, to sound as if I've been smoking something. I'm just trying to lean all I can about the stock version, preferably my 72 240Z. I have nothing to compare the '72 240Z to since the '77 280Z is so heavily modified.

(Thanks for the transverse link picture Carl)
