NY Camber/Toe arms silly question !

. Wanted to ask you guys a silly question. I tried getting my car aligned this past weekend and we realized that I have one of those CAMBER/TOE ARMS with a bend and the car won't align properly So I need to get it replaced. Just can't figure out what the correct name for it is to confirm that I'm buying the right thing. It's the long bar that stretches from the wheel area towards the center of the car. I believe it's called "rear traction rod" but I can't seem to confirm that for sure. Would you guys happen to know what it's called ? And it anyone makes a good aftermarket part ?

Sounds like the rear camber arm.....the longest bar at the rear

I have just made new bars for mine...I had the Megan racing adjustable ones and they kept bending.

You would likely be best staying stock...maybe pick up a used one......

Yes it the longest arm. It runs towards the center of the car. If you look at the car from behind it runs straight across. Sorry i dont have the pic to show you guys.

Do either of these pics help? Maybe give us the number from the diagram in the 2nd pic. (should be 7, 8, 9, or 10)
