RICHARDSON 72 240Z

Rear Differential Components Ordered

We completed the parts research and ordering for the 240Z's rear differential this week. The car will receive a Ford 8.8 independent rear suspension unit with a 2.73 ring and pinion gear set. We're sourcing two 8.8 assemblies — one complete unit for the car, and a second donor to extract the 2.73 gears.

The parts list includes a limited-slip differential, polyurethane front bushings for the IRS cradle, and a complete rebuild kit with bearings and seals. All components are now on order, which will allow us to rebuild the rear end to spec once everything arrives.
