Gary P is a long-time customer and huge motorsports fan. He owns a rally 510 and acquired this 240z from another ZCG customer. While enjoying the Z on his commute Gary noticed a loud humming sound and came to us for diagnosis. We discovered a right-rear wheel bearing failure and replaced them new bearings.  The rear suspension was also freshened with new rear lower control arms from TechnoToyTuning (T3):

New wheel bearings followed by pictures of the tired, stock rear control arms/bushings:

The soft brake lines had also seen better days with rubber cracked and seeping. Not safe!

We replaced them with new hoses:
