it's on a 99 ford ranger p/u. a vertical rod about 6 inches long with bushings (now missing) at each end where it connects. one one each side. looks easy enough to replace i may attempt it myself. meant to take a pic but the tire is back on and it's dark outside.

3. That is a pretty easy repair, if you get the bushings.
It's pretty much just a vertical threaded rod with a bolt at either end.
