Dunno what this is called but i broke it
I snapped one of the tubes when I was trying to remove it. And is this a part that's readily available at a place like Autozone? Thanks!

Thanks guys! This thing was a PITA to remove since I think it's been there since the car left the factory 19 years ago. Local Advance Auto Parts has one for 16 bucks.
