Thanks for that insight. Sounds like I need to get quite a bit done. Since I'm not equipped to do much, does anyone have a suggestion for a place in Indiana that I could trust to take it to?

Thanks!

These pictures aren't very good, but you can see the break on the driver's side. It's pretty rusty. Unfortunately, there is a lot of rust in other places, so this may be the beginning of the end or a lot of replacements. Thanks, Jeff J.

I totally understand. This is my first time on the site. I really appreciate the responses. I'm just happy to know the name of the part so I can find it and fix it. Thanks! Jeff J.

Any idea if driving my Z home - 1 mile slowly with a broken mustache bar will do any damage to other parts? Thanks! Jeff J.

I just found it on the diagram. It is the rear mustache bar. Any suggestions on how to replace and where to get a new one? thanks!

I got my 1977 280Z out for the first time this year and when I accelerated from a stop a steel bar in the rear suspension broke. I'm not sure what the bar is called, maybe a trailer bar or sway bar or mustache bar or strut support? It is bolted to the frame/unibody in the center right behind the rear axle and connects to each side under the struts I believe. Any ideas of what it's called, how to get it off, and replace it? Thanks! Jeff J.
