Tried ordering axles for a 1991 Z32 N/A and A1 Cardone seems to be the most common if not the only supplier. The numbers they list are wrong & only fit the Z31 and I think 240sx. Anyone else ever run into this problem before? Who has the correct axles for this car?

Thanks evildky but don't wanna pay big bucks for them...just looking for a normal set of rebuilt N/A axles with relative pricing. I can't believe these things are so hard to find. Where are all the Z32 owners getting their stock replacements? Dealer wants over $600 ea for new but again, too expensive. I'd just as soon put in a vette rear end before I pay that much for OEM Nissan axles.

By the way, I saw your thread on your experiences with your Z32....what a PIA that car was eh?

72 + core and 2 way shipping from rock auto
75 + core at napa
89 + core at autozone, and I suspect any local parts store should be able to get them where did you look?

If the above quotes are for A1 Cardone rebuilt axles, then the listing for the application is absolutely wrong. Everywhere I look, (online or local parts stores) all rebuilt axles from any distributor are ultimately sourced from A1 Cardone. They list PNs 60-6014 & 60-6041 and claim that they fit 300zx N/A from '84 thru '96. Absolutely wrong. They only fit '84 thru '89...... this is extremely frustrating and I still can't believe I'm the only one having this problem. The rest of the Z32 owners out there had to have run into this problem before...I've even talked to the tech guys at A1 Cardone and sent them pictures of my axles compared to theirs & they are STILL sure I'm wrong....anyone other than A1 Cardone rebuild these things???

yup I can verify rock auto crosslists that part for 84-96 which is of course wrong, I honestly don't know for sure but the diff side should bet he same as the 88ss which they don't list, looks liek you are left to the specialty suppliers, or having yours rebuilt, they just aren't a common point of failure and the Z32 is a reletively small production car and considdermaybe 2/3 of the 150k made were n/a
