What is it?
I can't get a pic of it right now, but there has been a bar that has been driving me nutz everytime I hit a bump. Everytime I would, the front end would squeak. So I got fed up with it today and decided to grease and oil just about anything that moved on the front. That's when I noticed this bar that goes from the left braces (maybe?) all the way to the right. Its like one long bar that twists when the wheels move up or down and is near the bottom of the car. It has two rubber fittings holding it place and that's what was squeaking. I lubed that up and it went away but I don't know what it is.
Anyone have a clue what I'm talking about? :crazy:

Re: What is it? (flyersfan1088)
I was just browsing through my Haynes book and found it. I guess its called the stabilizer bar and that clamp was the frame clamp and the bushings were making the squeaking. I guess the stabilizer bars connect to the sway bar.
