Rear tie bar I would call it, never seen one snapped on this car, yes it will make/allow the wheel to move all over the place.
Just describe to a motor factors soon get one cheap enough.

I've snapped one in the past and just bought a pair of new adjustable ones (RS1600i style) from the british ebay.

1600i ones different. How are they adjustable. And any images.

Think I've seen some on eBay that say there adjustable. But couldn't see an adjuster.
