one thing i noticed when i swapped the 120y struts in, is that the springs on the 120y were longer and the strut top was higher. so i had to swap the springs over for my ute ones and put the ute strut top back on. might be different for 1200 coupe/sedan again....

Yeah your right. Have to change the springs and the tops of the strut over.

Open in new window


The 120Y one is on the left...

When I have my lowered spring out I might line them up and take a pic for comparison.

Thats the Japanese disc brake, so if this strut is from a 1976 Datsun 120Y it was either, built before July 1976 if it is from a sedan, or it is from
some other body style. These other 'non sedans' were all imported.

The bare strut body & the brakes are the same as 1200 coupe. The replacement shocks are the same too, but use your 1200 springs & top
pieces to make it work properly in a 1200.

Overhaul kits for these are cheap & recomended & about the only real problem that I found with mine was the need to replace one pitted
piston, & yes, new parts are still available.
