Thanks Captain! According to MSA, it's the "O-Ring, Steering Knuckle To Strut Assembly"

Actually though, I was referring to post #3, not part #3 What about part #1? It must have a more specific name than "strut assy", since as far as I can tell it can be separated from the strut assy?

Whoops!

That's the spindle.

Haha, nice, geezer comes back with the second page two years later. Thanks guys, that's helpful.

I'm tackling my ball joints next week so just doing some reading to prepare.

Bringing back an old thread here, where can I find the full illustration that geezer attached to post #3? I don't see it in my FSM and I'm interested in the components' names. Or the shortcut method: what are the official terms for items #1 and #2?

Just a second answer to your question:

Get a copy of the Parts Catalog for your Z - it has the illustrations, part names and part numbers.

FWIW,
