1997 q45, identify this bent part please.

Greetings folks,
First time here,
I've purchased q45 with visible curb damage. This photo is of the left rear suspension. What's the bent part though? And do i need replacement bushings as well? Thank you.

Thats the lower control arm. If you buy a new one they have new bushings. The bushings aren't sold separately so it might be best just to get new

Welcome to NICO. Sorry to hear about the damage. Where are you located?

Thanks bros for the welcome and PDFs. Oh and I'm in North-Eastern NJ. By the way this big baby has been sitting for seven years. I'm already experiencing noisy lifters/valve train stuff. And man oh man, this crowded v8 bay is alot more harder to wrench on than a s30z/s130z.

So i guess this is the "control arm" part to order? :

Hey Vic -

If it is the lateral link #5 in the picture, here's an Infiniti dealer in the eastern region where you can get a genuine Infiniti OEM part for $65.66. Many times I can find new OEM parts at prices less than aftermarket.
