Suspension Guru's Come In - Question??
Suspension Guru's Come In - Question??
Last night when I was talking to _Zac while we were working on the car I noticed this piece of the car. It's part of the 4pts that holds the rear brake setup up.
My question is basically is this piece (circled in yellow) a solid piece or is it pressed in? If it was a pressed piece how can it support anything because it looks REALLY thin in some areas.
Let me know asap!

I'm pretty sure thats the rear toe link like on many other cars 
If you wanted something stiffer you could probably pick up an adjustable toe link unit someplace that looks something like these guys. (image stolen from vivid

+1 toe link. Does not support anything, just keeps the tires aligned toe wise.

All that part does is provide toe adjustment. It isn't holding anything up. You have a lower control arm and two upper control arms, typically called dog bones, holding the rear suspension in place. If you check my Suspended in Motion thread, you'll get an idea of what's involved in the rear suspension.
