Rear Tie Rods? Is that what they're called?

[Senor PuffPuff]

I'm trying to find some decent aftermarket tie-rods for my '01 Impala, but I can't find any on the internet. I can't even find out if they ARE called rear tie rods...

 

Anyways, they're tie rods and they're definitely on the back of the car so if someone can please tell me if they go by another name I'd really appreciate it because if I'm looking for something that doesn't exist then maybe that's why the aftermarket versions don't exist

 

Thanks

sounds like you're looking for the lateral links.

 

they go outwards from the center of the car, should be two per side?

either the lateral links or trailing arms. If trailing arms, get dorman brand.

Yes, they go from near the centre of the car to the inside of the wheel but as far as I can remember there's only one per side on the back... They're exactly like tie rods with the threads for adjusting camber.

They are called lateral arms, the ones that run side to side. There are 4 of them. you can get the bushings at any parts store. AZ Part # FB_719 you need 8.
