Flying Z Posted March 24, 2007 Share #1 Posted March 24, 2007 I have a '83 280zx and my ujoint that is connected to the differential is worn and viberating. I was told that I can not replace just the u joint and that I would have to replace the entire shaft from the transmission to the differential. I'm looking for help and a place that I might be able to get that part at.Thanks, Troy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zbane Posted March 24, 2007 Share #2 Posted March 24, 2007 I would suggest calling this place-http://www.zbarn.com/There are other places around that would be useful, of course-this is just a starting point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arne Posted March 24, 2007 Share #4 Posted March 24, 2007 Check your local yellow pages for a true drive-line shop. Many of them wil be able to re-machine your drive-shaft yokes to accept replacement u-joints. It may cost a bit more, but then you are starting with new u-joints, as opposed to finding a used drive-shaft with another pair of used non-replaceable u-joints.

=Enigma= Posted March 25, 2007 Share #5 Posted March 25, 2007 I thought it was just the 75-78 propshaft u-joints that weren't replaceable. Are we sure this is true of the 80-83 units as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webdawg1 Posted March 25, 2007 Share #7 Posted March 25, 2007 How about have one custom made for you.... Way I see it...by the time you find a machine shop and take your drive shaft in and have them do the work plus install new U-Joints you could probably have one made up custom and be done with it...See the following url:http://www.powertrainindustries.com/They also have a couple of catalogs you can download in PDF format...webdawg1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
