Default Unknown linkage


Completed my shock absorbers and top shock mounting pads removal and replacement yesterday. Came across a minor problem.
Can anyone please identify this sensor and the part # for the connecting linkage ? Mine is worn out and falling off.Seems like it might have something to do with ride height.
So far I have been unable to locate anything in the documentation that I have. The linkage is a smidge over 3.5 inches (8.9 cm).

I think it’s a headlight height adjuster.

"I'm afraid that part isn't available separately, sir. You have to buy the complete sensor"

Unless you can find one on a parts car.

It's possible to fabricate a new link using rose bearings. See this thread from giandanielxk8:
