Lower control arm strut rod length

eestatic said

Well, i massaged it into optimum straightness!!

Also, on a side-by-side comparison..with the bushing stop "knurls" placed side by side on each rod, the '74 Dart rod is longer...the knurls are a greater distance apart than the '65 Cuda by about 1/4"

I ordered the bushings for the 65

Thanks everybody!

The suspension geometry is not different. If you use the correct bushings for the given year of the strut rod used, the effective length is the same. The strut rods themselves are not the same, and the bushings can't be mixed between year ranges, but if they're used with the proper bushings the strut rods can be swapped between the model year ranges.

Make sure you get an alignment before you hit the road to make sure everything really is where it needs to be.
