What is the name of the part that attatches directly to the back wheels and, if bent, can bend the frame. My brother thought it a good idea to pull his car out of the snow with my taurus and now, because of what he tied the tow rope to, the car's rear passenger tire is turned slightly to the right. I need to know the name of that part so I can order a replacement.
