When Nissan introduced the 240Z, badged as a Datsun, they were creating one of the most influential Japanese vehicles of all time. The production of this legend began in 1969 and continued in one form or another through the 1970’s. Designed as an economical sports car, it was the right vehicle at the right time.

One of its defining characteristics was its handling, and key to the stellar handling were the Nissan 240Z’s struts. Designed with MacPherson struts on the front and Chapman struts on the rear, the sophisticated suspension was both effective and versatile.

There are still thousands of 240Zs on the road maintained by enthusiasts, and many more thousands on the road simply because of their reliability. The incredibly flexible Nissan 240Z needs a fair amount of maintenance, as should be expected from a vehicle that ceased production nearly three decades ago. Because they bear all the hits and vibrations from the road, the struts tend to wear out, and must be replaced. There are a variety of aftermarket Nissan 240Z struts available, each with its own defining characteristics. The OEM struts were tight and kept the car stuck to the road, but serious advances in suspension technology have rendered their design and materials obsolete.
