Hi folks,

I was under the car replacing the rear sway bar bushings & end-links (never mind that rockauto sent me one correct end link and one incorrect end link, gawd damnit!) to cure a rear rattle over bumps.

I was giving everything back there a good shake while under the car and I noticed that the part labeled as "B" was pretty loose. It looks to have a swivel on either end. What is it called and are these known to wear out? Unfortunately there is nothing I can do to tighten the resistance on the swivel ends.

Part "B" looks to link Part "A" to the driver side lower control arm (the one that the lower shock attached to).

These parts are only on the driver side rear.

Can anyone identify both of them?

Thanks.

Part b is just the link for the height sensor and im guessing a is the height sensor since its attached to it

Height sensors? Headlights? No kidding!

Thanks guys! Wonder if that swivel connector piece is replaceable? Can't seem to find it on Sewell

no part # but "B" should not be able to move up and down on the bracket. (bottom of pic)

Thanks for the diagram. I notice that part "B" is not listed?

Yup, I know it.

My question is more of a "wonder why it's not listed" :-)

you will probably find they supply it as part of part #89408B, and expect the electronic component of it to fail well befor the link.....

Part b will be relatively loose. Both ends of part b are on swivel ends. Think of part b like you would think of hood struts.
