Help identify my front suspension setup
 
I'm trying to understand what my front suspension setup is on my newly acquired 1969 T. I'm pretty sure not all of it is stock as the PO had planned to track it but never did. It does have vented disks (not stock) but are the calipers stock? What is the adjustable thing behind the strut? Are this struts stock? How can one tell if the tie rod ends are the "turbo" style? Any help is appreciated.

Cheers,
Jay

Ok so I figured out the "adjustable thing" is sway bar which is adjustable and most likely an afrermarket brand. Can anybody identify? It's probably a mid 80's brand. Still curious about the rest of my questions.

The struts appear to be Bilstein with the "S" spacing. The calipers are type "A", so they use the "S" size pad. Depending on rotor thickness (20mm thick is standard, 24mm is the thick version) you may have the standard "A" or the wide "A". The "A" pads are thinner than the "S" pads.

That looks like a stock set up with an aftermarket sway bar to me.

Bilstein strut from a 3.2 Carrera
SC caliper and rotor
Worn out standard tie rod not turbo
H&H Carrera sway bar. They were the shizzle in the 70's -early 80's
