    Greetings all, I'm looking for this suspension component to purchase however I'm unable to find it. What is the correct name for it & where can i get it to purchase?

    Here is a pic of the part that I'm looking for circled in green.

      I thought it was only the one on the side towards the gas tank was called lateral link. Whenever I search online for lateral link, the one closer to the fuel tank always comes up n never the one that I have in the pic. This have me wondering if the part in the pic is still being made.

          URG! had 4 paragraphs typed hit a wrong key gone!... argggh!

          Lateral Links: there are (4) of them, (2) left & (2) Right they are placed Left-to-right (laterally) from the centerline of the chassis. They attach tot he sides of the rear knuckle/hub assembly

          Trailing Arms: there are (2) of them. (1) left & (1) Right, they extend front to back from the uni-body (floor pan) to the lower, center of the knuckle/hub assembly.

          86-89 323, 88-89 Mercury Tracer, 90-94 Mercury Capri... all engines in 2WD format, use the same SIX rear controls arms. Any Pick-n-Pull or Pick-u-Part will have all kinds of cars to choose from.

          there are aftermarket (poly urethane) bushings available with a lil work. The biggest challenge is getting the damn stuff apart. Minimum MAAP torch and LOTs of Kroll or PB Blaster and long breaker bars...

          OR if you REALLY wanna get crazy make tubular replacements with heim joints... too bad the homestead site is dead.

              unfortunately rockauto.com now only shows the front lower arms and the forward rear lateral link/control arm... not the rear flat lateral link.

              I know they used to list the rear link.
