Hi there,just been out in the Z there only to find that when i go over speed bumps the car seems to bounce a lot at the back end,and when i went round a roundabout the back end bounces when it passes rough parts of the road to the extent that it feels like the tail wants to slip out?

Could the shocks be worn?

Anyone had a similar problem?

Its an import N/A....thanks in advance guys :)

loads of info on it m8

this maybe a start

Yes, in fact any 300zx still on original shocks after 50/60k miles is going have suspension past its lifespan. New shocks, springs, bushes will transform it.

he can eliminate the hicas straight away due to the na not having it lol. shockers prob most likely or bushes on link arms.

Cheers for the replies guys,yeah i thought it might have been the shocks as the passengers side seems to be extended more than the drivers,can see more of the ram than the other side,might just do as Legrath said and replace springs and check bushes and replace if need be while i'm at it.

UK and imports have different rear shocks. The import versions are really cheap for the stock ones. UK version has an actuator that bolts on the top of it that switches it from normal to hard.

 

When you have duff rears, usually one side first, you find yourself avoiding manhole covers as they seem to make the back end skip sideways.

Cheers Willeo,thats exactly what is happening to mine and i'm avoiding all bumps etc lol

got a new set ordered today so hopefully get them fitted by the weekend.

I'd get them swapped.

I think the Zed Centre sells them at a ridiculously cheap price.
