Hey guys, I had a small mishap with my car and hit the curb hard resulting in bending some suspension parts along with destroying a rim. I had a tech come by to check on the car, and he identified the parts that have to be repaired, however I am having difficulty identifying this one part that I need to order.
this is the bent bar (driver's side rear)

and for comparison, this is the bar that is untouched/not damaged (passenger side rear)

What is the name of this bar?

oh damn, thanks man! Am I better off buying these parts from Nissan, or are there any specific after-market places I can order from? the entire suspension set-up of the car is factory. I'm a noob with suspension!

OP I had a similar accident and it "looked" as simple as replacing the same exact rod you have the arrows pointing to in your picture. After further inspection it turned out that my lower control arm/spring bucket was warped beyond repair and my rear sub-frame was cracked. I'm not saying this is the case in your situation but just some food for thought.
