280zx struts and 510 hubs...will it work?

[cjzeppy]

I'm swapping 280zx struts onto my dime, but the one hub assembly is bent in the rear (no clue how one could be bent but it is). To me it looks like the 510 hub assembly is the same, so I wanted to ask if anyone has swapped these over before?

 

If not can someone find me a place to buy another hub assembly. I've hit all the local auto parts stores, and a few internet resources but have come up empty.

 

Thanks!

no. very different spindle size.

The 510 hub and smaller spindle was carried over into the early 610 and 710 Mid and late 610 and 710s should work, also the S10 and A10.

but the question is will 510 hubs fit onto 280zx spindles and struts.

No.

 

The 510 uses a different bearing size as did the early 610/710s.  The later 610/710, the B-210, the S10 200sx the A10 HL510, 810 all use the same hub and later large bearings just like the zx hub... and it will likely fit, but after checking the zx has a different number and so the rotor may be positioned differently.

 

Sorry for any confusion. No the PL510 hub won't fit the zx spindle. The only way to be absolutely sure is another zx hub.

Thanks Mike for the clarification. I tried going to the local auto parts stores to buy a new one, but nothing turned up. So I will have to buy a used one.
