Buy the complete suspension used with the knuckle assembly, bucket, camber arm and probably shock absorber...as much as you can get.. runs 200 to 350.. You may get lucky on a rim on ebay...but that is difficult with aftermarket rims.

how fast? looks like you spanked it...

def complete new rear 1/4 susp. components.

start by complete disassemble - mounting locations are prob gonzo too.

maybe new rear subframe if that's tweaked too...

on a high note all of that **** is cheap at this point.

I think the part you are looking a name for is the rear axle.

As it was said before, kind of hard to understand what you are saying, but I am pretty sure that is the piece that you are talking about.

Hes probably talking abt the knuckle. Where all the suspension parts bolt up. like someone else said here. go to junk yards and look around for a USED RT rear suspension and get it all. you may even get lucky and get it assembled. just dont mess with that upper control arm unless its bent. you gotta drop the subframe to access bolts. In for finish pics

Subframe is toast, look at the spring bucket inner mount. The CV on the axle looks wasted too.

I experienced something similar last week, when my car spun out and hit the curb. But not as severe as urs. How on earth did u drive back home with a cracked/broken part ?
My front wheel got bent, i have decided to replace all 4 with after market stuff. Which means i can sell u my good wheels if you are interested.
Anyways, need to check what else is wrong with my car after the hit, other than alingment.
Keep us posted on how much you spend to get it fixed.

ps: that post about the purple grass was hilarious

Nah that just a minor bend. it could definatly be straightened. if its not majorly bent its just straighten the slight bend out and roll with it. but if theres damage other than that spring bucket mount i'd replace it. but as it sits? straighten it and get all used rt rear suspension.
