Cuong Nguyen Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 I replaced mine today and found out that the body mount was ovaled out from wear and tear. It was rusting a little bit as well. The sleeve itself was rusted up and bend and it looked like it was going to break in half. The rubber bushings were deformed and chewed up (go figure.) I did the driver side and just slapped on the new parts for now until I can find time to weld up the hole and fix it using the race bearing.

Cuong Nguyen Posted September 14, 2004 Author Share Posted September 14, 2004 If you ask the autoparts store, they will have no idea what a tension rod is or a compression rod is. If they look at your vehicle, they will probably think of it as a radius arm similar to the old Fords. I spent some time just looking at various possibilities as what it could be and found that it's called a strut rod. ChromoTech, the compression rod aka strut rod is part of the suspension. It is attached to the rear section of the lower control arms to the frame. If you look at the rear of the front fender, you will see it attached to the frame.
