Hi i need some advice regarding my 260Z rear suspension. There's been a knocking sound coming from the rear when driving over bumpy roads since my car returned to use about 4 years ago (it was off the road for years). It's been on a ramp and rocked up and down and you can hear the noise. A few years ago i attempted to lower the car slightly and bought some lowering springs and new shock absorbers but there was a problem with the springs and it didn't work out (early '74 stuff). So now i'm attempting to lower the car again (for the third time) and fix the knocking. I've taken one side off today and so i can get the right stuff can anyone answer-
1. whenever i look at parts i see 'up to 8/74' and 'after 9/74'. does this refer to manufacture date or registration date? My car was registered 10/09/74, chassis no 691.
2. do i have the correct top mounts for the 260Z ?
3. on the strut casing is the numbers 55302 the either 3500 or 8500 and underneath that it says 3 y 3 0. can anyone tell me if this is correct for my car?
