    I have a 1970 Maverick. I had a crossbar? break off the other day. I'm replacing it and I just don't know what the pieces are called. They start by the wheel and cross diagonal up to the front end with one on each side fastened by two nuts. Help please?!

    Strut rods. If it broke make sure the bushings arent made of urethane. Get yourself a set of Moog bushings, replace the strut rod and get it aligned. They are your Caster adjustment. If they are urethane better look closely at the other rod for bends,cracks etc.
