Factory ? U-Joints with no circle clips
Yep, should look closer (or wait till I clean them up better!) next time, they are there. Thanks!

Factory ? U-Joints with no circle clips
I think I still have the factory U-Joints in my shafts because there are no circle clips to remove, in fact several of the u-joints are flush with the axle casing. Were the original U-joints pressed in? Or am I going to have to take a 50-50 shot at pressing them out the right way? The end caps have "Toyo" logo on them, if that helps.

Urethane bushings
Thats reassuring. I am keeping it stock. I bought the KYB struts because they were close to stock and am only going to ride it on the street. Not sure about the wheels yet. I have both stock rims and another set that came off a 280 "I think". I'd really prefer the slotted dish cause thats how I remember them! Thanks!

Urethane bushings
Ok I am new to the Z and it's suspension. My car is completely stripped of it's suspension and I have all new urethane bushings waiting to go into it. Should I stop and re-order rubber? Am I in for that much of a rough ride compared to rubber? I have read about all the posts in about all the forums on the web and the majority of the Z's all put in Urethane and I assumed it was the way to go...:paranoid: Also my Z is in great shape, bit's of surface rust and 51k miles

anyone here in the Omaha area ??
Yep Housing is cheap compared to the rest of the country, but has risen alot in the last few years. I moved from Virginia back in 89 and bought a mansion for the same price as the measly house I had there, plus a great yard. But you gota get used to 4 seasons! So I restore snomobiles also!!

sway bar ends to big?
Gotcha,, I should have looked closer at the new urethane, it has a lip that will set right into the "loop" on the end of the swaybar. Thanks

sway bar ends to big?
Is the swaybar stud supposed to be much smaller that the hole in the end of the swaybar? I attached a picture, it looks like it must be missing something to keep it from moving around.

timing plate location
Looking at the timing marks on the flyweel pully is the first one 0 degrees? then does it go in 5 degree increments? accrding to my book it does but mine is way off, BUT I just bought my 72 and it runs really bad.
