Looks like a sway bar mounting bracket/bushing assembly. For the amount of money your dealer is charging, you can upgrade to aftermarket swaybars/bushings.

Check with one of the board sponsors i.e. Sharkwerks for pricing/availability of aftermarket replacements.

Looks like he has highlighted the lower arm, not the sway bar bushing.

I would get in touch with Ric @ Suncoast Porsche (Forum Sponsor) and they will be able to get you the part number and a price.

Hello,

ok. but can you give me a proper description/name of the part I need? This way I can call suncoast porsche and ask for ric.

For me, is just looks like a bent piece of metal that's causing my alignment to be off.

Thanks
