This bar is bent and is giving me a rattle and clunk on an 05 grand prix gt. Must of hit on hell of a bump or something to bend this sucker. Its a horizontal bar from the strut assembly to the center of the car. Has wiring clips on it. It is NOT adjustable. any advice? few pcitures if anyone can make out these ****ty cell pictures. thanks!!!






 


are they known for bending? damn ive replaced both the rear control arms in my 01 grand prix and now this one in the 05.. geez
 


went to Oreillys today to get that link, they guy at the desk said they dont carry lateral links for that car.. I can pull it up on the internet tho?
He said its only a GM part.. wtf???!!!!!
 
Try a different auto parts store. I once had a manager at Autozone tell me that the S/C gasket was a GM part only and that having a factory supercharger on my Grand Prix was rare. I was like WTF and left laughing my ass off after making him look stupid in front of other customers.
 


try a salvage yard it all else fails some one I know found a nice after market set of BMR there cost him $5 and arm, and yes I hate him for it
 
Its not a trailing arm...
Its not a control arm..


Idk what to do. Autozone nor Murrays nor another parts store i belong too had this....

Gm part or what? and i dont even know what to call this stupid thing to get it.
 


hmm, that looks like it. Autozones website says it doesnt fit along with rockautos. I wonder why all these companies have this one screwed up.

All the other bars ive been getting are Ushaped or boxed tubing. This one looks right but maybe a hair long? Sayings its 26" long, i though i measured mine to be around 24 but i could of measured it wrong..
 
Apparently that fits a 97-03 GP and 00-08 Impala.

But it doesn't list the regal which is the sister car to the GP.

So I'm a little lost on the applications here as well.
