the heim jointed bar is someones bastardization of a strut rod. the bushing that is missing probably went missing within a few miles of it being installed.

the lower arms pictured will accept a factory ford strut rod. the problem is, what strut rod.........pinto? mustang? or granada?

from the angle in the picture it appears to be the pinto, they have the steepest angle out of the three and theoretically the weakest.

NOS rods can be obtained thru "Green Sales" for a trouble free front end i would advise to just install the factory rods......the mustand and pinto share the same end bushing, so they are available anywhere, the nut that attaches them is special locking type.....

you can measure straight up to the lower arm from the rod mounting hole to see which rod is used, i think i have a pinto set here in my shop.....
