That is the linkage to lock the shift linkage when you turn your ignition key to the lock position.

I made wittness marks on both upper control arm eccentric cams on both sides to keep the initial alignment close. The aligment was still way off, my guess it was aligned w/ bad control arm bushings present. As it turned out I used my bubble level a fixed to the front brake rotor w/ the dust...

Always remember to tap your torsion bars far enough forward to allow the retainer clip adequate clearance to seat.

Here are the replacement freeze plugs installed.
