Front suspension

Hi all,

New to forum and I was looking for some help. Just changed my bottom control arm busing. It's pretty brittle and crumbles easy. Does anyone know how to post a picture?

Welcome to the forum!

To post a picture you need to first upload the photo to a photo sharing site (such as PhotoBucket or Picasa), then insert the "image" link in your post.

The photo is pretty small, did you resize it to be that small or is it a cellphone photo? I can't tell from the photo what help you are likely looking for. Are you wanting to know what this item is (torsion bar)?

Yes, it was taken with a cell phone. Sorry it is so small. I'll try to re-size it somehow. Yes, I would like to know what part it is. Apparently, there is a case surrounding this part that has this plastic stuff that came out of it. Any thoughts???

Isolator

Hello,

Just an update on the part I was asking about. It was the isolator that needed to be replaced on both sides. Just an f.y.i. for others that might experience similar issues.
