Hi,

The part is called a pendulum support. I attached a pic below to confirm I have the correct part. Often they are called a dog-bone. They connect the subframe with the transmission housing. Pic 2 shows one I found online that will work.

Let me know if this helps.

Joe

Hi Joe, yes, this helped a great deal thanks. Now do you happen to know the size for the number two bolt on the dogbone mount? And does it just screw in, or does it have a nut at the end?

Hi,

My manuals don't provide that information. However, I believe it has a nut on the opposite side. When you get the part, check to see if it is threaded internally. I just be certain because there are so many different variations, but I suspect it will have a nut on the opposite side.

Let me know how things turn out for you.

Joe
