Independent rear axle or some **** like that.

If that is causing your issue, I would think WTF did you hit to do that.

it's the torsion beam. yea, that thing is bent to hell, what did you do? that's probably going to run you a nice penny, not sure what they go for.

here ya go, you're looking at abouta grand including tax. it's #1. if you can install it yourself you will save some money. otherwise i would expect to pay about 13-1400 installed.

the torsion beam is pretty damn solid. it's not something that just bends. i've jumped up and down on it many times (don't ask) trying to get extra clearance. it's also very heavy. that looks like someone tried to jack the back of the car up, and put the jack in the wrong place. nothing else is damaged, so i'm going to say he didn't hit anything on the road. if he hit something on the road, most likely something else would be banged up as well. but it takes a lot of pressure to bend that thing like that.

the car has never had a jack on that location (to the best of my knowledge) the thing only has 30,000 miles on it and is now needing its 3rd set of tires in the back. i'm now thinking I got this car from the dealer with this bent. yes I'm around destin, fl
