I don't have a pic handy but the strut rod is the rod that is bolted to the lower control arm and goes forward and through the big brace toward the front along the frame rails. The bushings are captured by a huge nut.

Make sure you measure the rod protrusion from the forward bolt before you disassemble. It's important.

No picture necessary, was thinking it might be that (just because thats the only thing that looked like a rod up there) Now if mother nature will let me work on the car...
