J - bar?
I can’t remember the name of it- it’s the J shaped bar on the lower control arm on the front suspension. It goes from the LCA to the frame. I need new bushings for that! Badly. Does anyone remember the name and also what it’s from? I remember reading it was off a pinto or something other than Mii.
Any help would be appreciated. Got out for my first drive of the year today!! Straight to the gas station. Used up $25 in gas to go buy another $75 in gas lol |
Mustang II strut rod bushings. Energy Suspension has them, as most other auto parts stores.

Thank you Mark!!
Found the part number -Energy Suspension 4.7113G Strut Rod Bushing for Ford |
No problem.
Keep in mind that the strut rod in the 74 to 79 Mustang II was also used for alignment, were the earlier Mustangs struts ran from the front LCA to the front chassis. Those were intended to stabilize the LCA. |
When I replaced my strut rod bushings I used the urethane instead of the rubber. I coated them with grease so they wont sqeak. Also the dish shaped caps go on opposite of what you think. Convex side towards the bushing. Also there is a torque requirement for those...I think 90lbs, but cant be positive. Things you probably already know but thought I would share for everyone's benefit.

20lbs, it pretty much bottoms the nut down.
