I have a set there that came in they should be delivering them tomorrow from NAPA. Maybe someone knows and they will chime in. It is common knowledge that fine thread are better than coarse thread rods. The later coarse thread strip easier and probably much cheaper to make. Also more forward and rearward movement.

If I would have a 73-76 and wasn't worried about being the way it came for the critics I would upgrade to the older strut rods and the rubber two piece bushings with the shear sleeve. They will be the last set you'll buy.

The important thing is when using the OEM style LCA bushings is to tighten them with the car at the recommended ride height. Bottom of the ball joint to the ground and center of the LCA pin to the ground. get the difference in the two. There is a required measurement for the difference. When this is correct that is when you tighten the LCA pin nut. The OEM bushings last a long time if you follow the ride height measurement before tightening. After this is done you can raise or lower the car. You will not over travel the bushing in either direction and rip the rubber . The manual gives these instructions for ride height. I may have missed something but I am sure you get the general idea.
