Question We need the name of this part!

We took our newly bought, used 1998 civic ex to have it aligned and they said they couldn't do it because the "alignment bars" are missing on the back end?



what does this part look like (a pic would be awesome)? what's the exact name for it so we might be able to order it or at least ask for it correctly?

thanks in advance!

I would imagine it is one of these parts, but not sure. Don't know where else it would be located.

Rear Lower Arm

Yes, the first step is to go to some place else, that knows what they are doing. In the stock setup, the rear alignment is not intended to be adjustable. If alignment is out of spec, it's because parts are worn or something has been bent in a crash.

Sorry, that's actually a clickable link that takes you to a view of the parts that make up that part. If what you were looking for existed, I imagine that's where it would have been.
