Can bearings or the complete bearing assembly still be obtained , Item no 33, and if so where.
Many thanks, Dave240z st bearing1.jpg

Yes that's a universal joint.

I don't think there is a direct replacement but Zcardepot stock this one:

Bearing/Universal joint thanks for the link, but I don't fancy cutting and welding just yet, so will do some more research.

By the way, please note that the linked site ORO2U is a wholesaler and distributor, not a retailer, so you will not be able to order direct from them. They have an interactive link for regional retailers from whom you can order.

Very interesting, the complete steering lower joint assembly is with a local bearing specialist at the moment who is seeing if they can match the universal joint, once they get back to me I will take it from there.
Thanks for you input and I will keep updating on my progress. This is the lower steering joint and his mate this am.

Instead of faffing around with a uj, why don't you try to get hold of the complete steering rod assembly? Try Minksport on here, he may have one.

I hate getting rid of the original parts if they can reasonably be serviced and put back into use , as it is, I managed to find a replacement universal joint from JMB for around 22.00, and am just getting it pressed in at the moment.

It is, because I could use the help on this one. I have resolved many issues with the 71 I have, but this one requires help from the group!
Today, I am replacing the steering coupling and I will measure the U-Joint with calipers. Hope to cross-reference something out there. I will post again once I learn something!

Nice collection you have!
