Damit! I broke a tension link. I guess it's because the bushing was not flushed right, when I put it a camber bushing last year. It's number 6 in the image below. I have a part number 4782745AB. Anybody have an extra one ;) willing to offload?

How the hell did you break that one?

you have to use a camber bushing in both the #1 bar and #6 bar. if you didn't, you had some serious binding going on. that will surely break something.

Actually, when i pressed in the camber bushing last year on the tension link, i did not press it in evenly, which caused a hair line fracture. I new it was only time. I think what really broke the camel's back was those big arse 295's I just put in LOL!

Anyways, now i have an excuse to put that torque converter i've been tooting about. I've already removed the shaft and other simple things, but haven't pulled the housing bolts.

Yeah, you need both bushings or else.
