What years/body style will interchange? Or where could I get new ones? The only place I found with regular strut rods was Mancini Racing. Everyone else had adjustable rods. Thanks! 1970 Challenger Convertible soon to be T/A convertible Contrary to the opinions of some, I am not dumber than I look.

And if it is bent, straightening it is definitely an option. The bar is always in tension except when braking in reverse.
