1. What is the part name or number for the brace that holds the LCA to the frame? I tried chassis brace, bracket... can't find the product image on sewell either.. it's the little triangle shape part that has 3 bolts (one is attached to it)

2. I have a squeal (sounds like rubber) when i lift the car up and rotate the tire by hand.. i don't have the pins for the brake pads on this side (lost them). Is that what's causing the noise or could the tire be rubbing against something? the sound doesn't' sound mettalic (like the brake pads)..

 

dont buy that brace new....get a aftermarket or find someone who just installed a aftermarket and buy theirs

its part # 51403B

from this schematic

or try our parts recyclers Aliga, Chin, or RGW LLC one of them should have it

BUT this person just bought a aftermarket one so you might hit up sam and ask him who he sold it to then contact that person and see if they wanna sell their OEM one for cheap (and i mean cheap they really not worth much)

could be....wait wait wait you have NO alignment pins in the brake caliper holding the pads? thats not smart, get some man and see if this fixes it, its doubtful but possible
