Bent the so-called "Rear K-frame"
Accord SE 97' 2.2L
i was doin some rallying on some back roads and went off the road on an s-turn that i took too fast and hit a rock . . . boulder . . . IT WAS HUUUGE!!! . . . nah i think it was just as big as a granite curb cause thats how much damage it did. Luckily i still had momentum when i hit it so i just kept on goin cause i didnt wanna get stuck in some ditch on the side of the road.
AAAnyways i bent the back rear lower left control arm (theres a mouthful) from the looks of it before i stuck it on a lift. BUut unfortunately i bent the metal black box-like piece that bolts onto the unibody in between the two left and right control arms. I heard someone make up a name for it calling it a "rear K-frame" since there was basically the same thing up front.
Now when i told a couple salvage yards i basically had to describe it to them cause they didn't know what i meant when i said "rear k-frame" and when i look online for a piece like with that name, nothing shows up.
#1 I'd like to know what that piece would be called in technical terms so i can try searching for it online
#2 Where would i find an oem replacement part relatively cheap online??
and #3 HOW DO U GET THOSE BLOODY BACK LEFT AND RIGHT FRONT CONTROL ARMS OFF?!?!?! cause the freakin bolt doesnt wanna come out even with a 12 ton press!!!!
~Thx
