So, I'm digging through looking at rear suspension parts, and running into a bit of a problem with terminology. On various parts sites, I see toe links, suspension links, and traction links, with the term 'arm' seemingly used interchangeably with 'links'. However, in the TSRM, I see only #1 / #2 and 'Strut Rod'. Annoying.

Oh, and Swaybar = Stabilizer bar. I'm starting to think car parts should be labelled in Latin, so everyone has to use the same damn terminology.

So I'm thinking about relabelling this diagram as a reference. Anyone with any input, throw it up...
