WTB Suspension Pull Rod for 82 300TD (arm that attaches to SLS Valve)
I broke the bushings on my suspension pull rod while rebuilding the SLS valve. Any chance anyone has a spare 300TD their pulling parts from?
It's the part mentioned in this thread, seen below with the yellow arrows. Thanks!

Those things are like $100 from the dealer! In the past I also broke the bushings and so I wrapped a bit of tape around it and zip tied it to the lever. Worked fine for two+ years like that. Junkyard units will also have bad bushings as the plastic is to old/brittle.

I did the repair last night. Incase anyone ever comes across this thread, here's what I did....
I got electrical tape and cut it long ways, making 2 thin strips. I then wrapped each hole on the arm several times to make it somewhat cushion-y. Then, as suggested, I just zip tied it to the valve under the car. Works like a charm.

I dipped the balls in wax then used JB Weld and epoxied them back in place.
Once dry the wax allowed the ball to rotate. Good so for... |
