Default what is this called...brain fart

Connects to the SRA...torque arm? the bushing is wore out so there is a loud clunk when you accelerate...

Those are the upper control arms. Our cars don't have a torque arm.

alrighty...thanks for the input. Appreciate the help/quick response. You have any idea how to swap them out? Do you jack stand the car up...then jack up the rear end so the upper arms are straight up and simply unbolt and swap out?

They just unbolt and swap out. Then you gotta wrestle the new ones back in place.

i have some stock spares sittin here at my house....

let me know my HHG are being packed in 2 weeks.

O, nevermind. you have to change the bushing, goodluck. those are a PITD to remove. i suggest buying the tool from MM and throwing in a new DELRIN bushing from them as well. spike is right on the install if its not completely cleaned out...i ran into this problem and ended up destroying a new bushing and i had to go back in a few weeks later to re-do my **** up.
