    I recently went for an alignment only to discover my rear tire rod looking thing on the drivers side is bent but I can't find any replacements online.....only the front ones show up are they the same thing or can someone link me to the proper place to buy them I'll need both the inner and outer pieces...any info is greatly appreciated. It's a 97 gtp coupe

    They're called front and rear lateral arms. Front meaning the one closer to the engine not on the front of the car. Search on rockauto and I'm sure you can find some stock replacements. Otherwise you can upgrade and find thicker ones like BMR that are on 3800performance.com and a couple other sites.

    Correction the ones in the pic are not what I am looking for. The part has an adjuster nut that actually goes onto the back of the wheel hub assembly.
