Curb checked tonight at about 40. Cracked the rims, so they're toast. Got the back tire off and I bent what I would call the tie rod (what you adjust the rear toe with), and the stabilizer bar thing that goes up at like a 35 degree angle. There's one on each side and they meet in the middle of the frame in sort of a triangle. What are the names of these two parts? Track bar and Torsion bar? I believe it's 3 and 4 in the picture below.

Lateral arm I think

Probably lateral and toe link. That's what I've come to know them by.. likely the name will vary slightly depending on which site you are on.

Track bar maybe? Dorman 905503 and 905502?

Google them and see what they look like.

It was called a track bar with advance and the above mentioned part numbers were correct. For those attempting this repair, you will need a 21mm wrench (or two, but I just used vice grips on the nuts inside the frame carriage) to remove the bolts holding the front and rear track bars for each side. You will also have to take out the four bolts holding the frame to the undercarriage and drop the exhaust low enough to get the front bolt out as it will not clear the gas tank until it is significantly lowered. I used a large flat head to pry the sway bar (that was still attached, thus moving the frame carriage) back so that there was enough room to pull the bolt out. I was unable to lower the exhaust far enough to simply pull the bolt out, so I had to pry the frame towards the rear of the car a bit. Also if you don't want to wait for rockauto shipping and don't want to pay advances high costs, get on the live chat at advances website and ask them to price match rockauto. It was actually the gm of my local advance that suggested this. He also said if the part you want isn't in stock, call them and get them to order it in, then when it arrives call and ask them to add it to their inventory and you can then go online and get it price matched or use whatever discount code you have.

That looks like a bent trailing arm. Mine looked fine, you must have slammed something to get that bend.Originally Posted by NegativeOne13

Yep, that's a bent trailing arm. Seems people are always bending those u-stockers.
