Need some help, passenger side rod has snapped (Pics)
Took my car in to service, synthetic oil change, transmission oil changed, differential oil changed...
I went under and checked to see if everything is ok, turns out this thing has rotted away to the point you can rip it right out:
Can someone help me identify this part? Is there any upgrades I can do like a sway bar for both sides of something?
Exhaust has been rusted pretty good too, I think I need new gasket cos it must be leaking... Very tempted to get new exhaust:
This picture is for the DIY Fog Light install I posted here:

The first photos are of the one of the eight body braces. It's front "rear" brace vs front brace (passenger side) ... part costs about $40. They are there to improve the torsional rigidity of the body. The part number is 52257-24010.

You're probably right about the exhaust gasket....a $4 part but I doubt they'll get it apart without having to cut the bolts. If they damage to exhaust pipe assembly it gets real expensive to replace those parts.

That's severe corrosion. Bad.

The body is in pretty good shape, underneath is a different story with the salt and grime during winter.

I guess I will just be buying the passenger front brace (52257-24010). The car shakes when I hit the brakes, I know the alignment has been done, new brakes were installed, I just hope that the rotors are not warped.

Lexus rotors are thick and can be turned a few times.
