GearheadTJ Posted December 13, 2021 Share #1 Posted December 13, 2021 I am rebuilding the front suspension on my 1980 280ZX and having a hard time finding a cross link bar that is affordable. Autozone has one listed for $449.00. Does anybody know where I can find a cross link for less? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarb Posted December 13, 2021 Share #2 Posted December 13, 2021 Are you taking about a front sway bar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mailnome Posted December 13, 2021 Share #4 Posted December 13, 2021 Na, it’s a cross rod bar. It’s like a steering box set up on a pickup. It links one side to the other. Might be hard to findhttps://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/classic20o02b/23-4442Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GearheadTJ Posted December 14, 2021 Author Share #6 Posted December 14, 2021 Thanks to Mailnome for including the picture and explanation. I would like to get a new one. I am afraid a used one would have wear. I would consider a used one if it were from a low mileage car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patcon Posted December 14, 2021 Share #7 Posted December 14, 2021 I might have one but no idea on miles on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took my car get an alignment and the guy said front end needed to be rebuilt, including the cross link. I am replacing the ball joints, inner and outer tie rod ends and struts. I am waiting on new parts before tearing it down. I don't like to halfway do stuff. When I get the old parts off I am going to assess the condition of my cross link. If it is wore out I may be interested in what you have if yours is in good shape. I am also looking for a set of silver/blue door panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patcon Posted December 14, 2021 Share #11 Posted December 14, 2021 Try using the nissan part number and plug it into the rockauto search bar. I have found they can sometimes source factory parts for other makes. If the autozone part is a major aftermarket supplier, try their number too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
