Description
Years Ago, There were many options for the Z31 for replacement Shocks and struts. Now these options are very limited and for those of us with the Stock Adjustable suspension, pretty much nothing was available that fit without adapter kits that KYB had made. Since KYB has stopped producing these kits and the stock has dried up there was no other option other than swapping to Non Adjustable parts (Strut tubes and top Mount)
But this has changed as we have engineered a kit to get you back going and able to use the available replacement Strut cartridges and shocks that all non adjustable cars can use.
The kits will include 2 new gland nuts for the struts in front and 2 spacers for the rear for the top mount.
You will need to use one of the washers supplied with the shock of your choice under the Top Nut for a tight fitment.
The Kits are made in Batches of 10 so if the item is showing back order we have not reached the 10 kits sold to get the price listed. Production if the kits once the goal is met is 30 days.
The KYB Replacement Parts are as Follows to use this kit
- KYB 365056 GR-2 / Excel-G Strut Front Strut x2
- KYB KG5787A Gas-A-Just Monotube Rear Shock x2
Optional if your parts are showing wear
- KYB SM5097 Strut Upper Mount x2
- KYB SM5064 Strut Bearing x2
- KYB SB104 Strut Boot Kits x2
- KYB SB107 Shock Boot Kits x2
If your rear upper shock mount shows any signs of cracking in the rubber you will want to not reuse it and source a Non Adjustable Rear Shock upper mount from a parts car or contact a used Z Car Parts Supplier such as VintageZparts.com or Sean Jarman on facebook for these parts.
You can then Rebuild the non adjustable mount with the KYB Parts below and will not need to use the rear spacer from this kit.
