Stub Axle "B" Spacer's needed.

Featured Replies

Title says it all, I have in the last 5 years of my Z being apart misplaced the Spacer that goes between the wheel bearings in the rear strut housing. I know the dealer no longer has them available. I need 2 with the copper crush washers, if you have them let me know.. I am waiting in these to get the car on the ground.

If nobody has them and are willing to part with them could you mic the ones you have so I can get a set machined..They will have a "B" stamped on them, they were either "A" "B" or "C"..I need the "B".

Thanks,

Jeff

As a matter of interest, what determines which spacer is required? I have had 3 pairs of stub axles, all with the "B" spacer and crush washer. So in what circumstances would the others be used?

If you look on the barrel of the strut housing the round part where the stub axle goes through the housing there is a letter stamped. It is either a "A" "B" or "C". the spacer is used for variances when the housings are manufactured and machined to correctly space the wheel bearings when torque is applied for preload.

Hope that helps.

Jeff
