because latter amcs 72 on used the end opf that rod for a steering 
stop. You also need the part the outer tierod bolts to. Its not as 
complcated as it sounds just compare parts and if they are the same 
use the best condition wise.

you here can comment? Please copy your reply to Travis also if 
replying and thanks in advance to all who may reply.

> Hello Eddie, I have put my parents two spirits in ads and I 
believe we almost have them sold. Thank you so much for the help, I 
wanted to ask you if the brakes would fit my 69 AMX. I know in past 
emails you explained the 72 and up disc brakes worked well from 
javelins, matadors and gremlins but would they fit from an 80 and 81 
spirit? They both have disk brakes and would like to know and maybe 
save money. Thanks alot Eddie, thank you for your time . Travis
