Question 1979 Hydraulic Level Arm Rod

Driving the 6.9 this evening i lost the front end hydraulics. upon inspection i found the height control arm (Rod) detached from the swaybar. the plastic attach point missing. I need a new rod but dont have a current supplier. Does any body have the part # and a supplier.

Thanks

Dealer sells them, they're about $30 so not too bad. I think that they're the same as the ones on the rear of a 300TD.

I stuck the rod back through the hole and zip tied it so it would not pop back out. Did this about six months ago. Have not had a problem since. .25 vs. $30.00 seemed like the right choice for me.
