Replace and upgrade your accelerator pedal rod all at once!   The rod and connectors are all stainless steel so it will never rust or corrode.  And our unique design uses oil-impregnated bronze bushings at the lower end of the rod and sealed needle bearings at the top where the pedal slides.  This rod is used in all 2002s from 1968 to 1976.
