Its connected to the rear axle and is is along side the drive shaft and the other end is free floating at the back of the transmission. I ask because that bar is knocking up and down. Isn't there supposed to rubber to cushion it?

 

yes, there should be a rubber pocket that it fits into . I haven't been under mine lately to say exactly how or where it connects but I do know there is some kind of cushion.

 

That bar is called a torque arm. There should be a bracket and rubber bushing on the back of the transmission that the torque arm slides into.

 

Thanks. The bolt came loose from the bracket because I noticed that the threads that bolts in the transmission is stripped. It will turn but won't tighten. I used some high strength threadlock just to keep it from loosening from the vibration. But I also noticed that the rubber part is now missing somewhere on the road. I had some thick rubber that I used for a temp fix, but I guess I need to take a trip to the wrecking yard soon. Unless I can find that part at the auto parts store.

 

You can get a poly bushing for like 15-20 bucks you have to drill out 4 rivets for it though.

 

The polyurethane bushing is a lot better than the used factory rubber one you'll probably find in the junkyard.

 

Where can I get one?

 

im not for sure but i think you can special order them from Auto Zone, but just do a search online for them, and you need to make sure you get the right one because there are 2 different ones.
