This late 1200 lower control arm (LCA) bolts into and is compatible with older 1200s. Yet makes it easy to fit either 45mm or 2.0 inch struts.
Overview
Applied Model Code H10 is B110 parts H72 is B210 parts H74 is late B210/late B120 ute parts H85 is B310 1200 parts W50 is A10 parts (also used by B310)
Also see: Strut Swaps
45mm Strut
To fit Datsun 45mm struts, use a 45mm strut-accepting package.
early 45mm strut support: * H10 LCA with H10 Tension Rod * H10 Balljoint * H10 Knuckle Arm * 45mm strut (B110, B120 or 120Y)
late 45mm strut support: * H85 LCA with H72 Tension Rod * H74 Balljoint * H74 Knuckle Arm * 45mm strut (B110, B120 or 120Y)
2-inch Strut
To fit Datsun 2" struts, use 2" strut-accepting package (what you will need to make them bolt straight in)
2" strut support: * H85 LCA with H72 Tension Rod * W50 Balljoint * W50 Knuckle Arm * 2" Datsun Strut (280ZX, S13, 810, etc, but NOT S30 240Z/260Z/280Z) * Strut Top and Upper Spring Perch (use standard ones for your Car)
Alternatively you can use LCA/Rod, balljoints and knuckle arms from other datsuns -- with or perhaps w/o modifications -- but it is more straightforward to use the factory Sunny parts. W50 is Datsun A10/B310 parts.
2.0" struts include
- Sunny except A12-powered models
- Early Stanza A10
- Early Datsun 240K
- Datsun 180B
- Datsun 810/910
- Datsun 280ZX
These are not recommended:
- 510/610/710 including 180B and 160J - camber angle is more positive than stock
- S30 (240Z/260Z/280Z) - knuckle arm requires extra wide bolt pattern
For R31 type struts, you will also need a shear-load spacer ring (available from Datsport).
