So I was just reaching the home stretch, when i started hearing this scraping sound. I first I thought it was just mud and crap falling off my car. But then it really started to sound bad. So I pulled over and saw these.

Now I have no tools to work with, I have no car to get tools, nor do I even know how to fix it.

So...
Q1: What is that rod?
Q2: It looks like the bolt that held it in place is gone. How big is that bolt? And how do I tighten it enough to keep it there.

I don't have tools now, but I'm getting my buddies to bring there's. I figure they might as well try to pick up the part for me on their way here.

Holy crap :eek:

Damn!! You been rallyin or what??

Thats a control arm and you may need to go to a dealer to get the right bolt and bushing to fix it if the bolt just fell out or snapped.

Worst case scenario though...you broke the mount and you may need to have it welded or replaced.
