Here is a picture of one more Z car T/C rod gone. I installed MSA polyurethane bushings front and back on the T/C rods of my stock 1976 280Z about 4 months ago and have put about 3,000 fairly easy road miles on since then. I had read the various accounts of broken rods but the evidence still seemed iffy and most of the descriptions seemed to be for the later model cars with front-oriented T/C rods and not the rear-oriented Z cars. So I decided I would do both sides with polyurethane on my car
