Re-fitting moustache bar to rear Diff

[Graeme - CZ]

Hello everyone,

I've had the moustache off to do my Diff oil change and to also replace the worn bushes.

I'm after some tips that would help me refit my moustache bar. At my first attempt, as I was discovering that it's quite difficult to manouver it into position, looping behind the pillars and between the Diff. Any tips of how best to get it into position would be gratefully received. My diff font mounting member is currently off, so i can move around the Diff.

Regards, Graeme

Mmmmmm I think one of the Haynes diagrams is wrong but this may not affect you. I'll check.

I should mention, it's a 1973 240z US import I have.

Your absolutely right, that prompted me to dig out a picture I’d forgotten about. That’s a much easier fit.

The R180 and R200 moustache bars fit differently.

all depends on which bushes you changing if your doing them all its take the lot off . if front and rear diff mount bushing i would support the arm under the shock strut and diff then do one side at a time . then bolt most of it back together then tackel the bar . but as a job its like juggling cats just have a warn garage and lots of tea bags chris
