Thread: name this suspension part 05 gp

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!!!

lateral arm.

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

and thank you btw!!

sometimes.

It seems the trailing arm typically goes more often.

No hasnt been towed at all. was never like that when i got it either. I think it was just a huge ass pot hole. I actually noticed the tire wearing unevenly from it as well. damn it.. So is a trailing arm and lateral arm the same thing?

or whats a lateral link?

first one.

Thank you sir!

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 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.

nothing on that site.. still all the wrong ones.

Lateral link.

Toe arm.

Leading arm is the bent one?

yes this is the bar closer to the front of the car. holds the ebrake cable as well

also called a "track bar"

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.
