Default Bent tie rod? Passenger side rear.


newbie to the forums here but my question today is can anyone tell me what part this is or point me in the direction to finding out the part name? Lookes like a tie rod but I'm unsure. I just cant pinpoint what the hell this is😡 Long story short snow=drifting+donuts+ sliding into curb sideways which bent the bar in the photo (red arrows) and gave me positive camber as u can kind of see in the pic. Unsure if anything else is bent/broke at this time but point out other parts of concerns that could have been damaged also. The car is still drivable and stable at highway speeds

Looks bent to me. That will wear the outer edge of your tire quickly.

Looks like 4B0501530C. rear track rod.

Thank you. I searched part number via ecs tuning and they call it a tie rod. Anyway it looks like the part I need so I will get back under my and make sure it's correct before I order it. I appreciate your help .

Consider buying it from a recycler, like Shokan... should be a lot cheaper, and there is little to go wrong with that part (if you don't have crash damage.)
