We heard a loud pop and the rear end started swaying back and forth. We made it home going 25mph and looked underneath the back and the metal bar that runs from axle to axle is snapped in half. The bar is the width of the axle. What is this called and how difficult is it to repair? Thank you.

There are two bars. One is a track bar (8) that runs from driver's side trailing arm to the frame. The bar that runs from wheel knuckle to wheel knuckle is actually the axle beam. If you broke the axle beam, you have some serious problems. Is there a lot of rust going on under there? Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

You probably can only get it from the dealer or a salvage yard.
