What is this bracket called?

[bucky]

Noticed it broke off on me and was wondering what the official name of it was so when I call the dealer they will know what I am talking about.

I believe that is a relay rod.

 

[bucky]

sounds right. Notice the other one is hitting also? The owner before me put the extra wheels in the wrong spot. They hit the hardware when compressed it seems.

Gotta love previous owners.

Is that from hitting on the wheel itself or on a spacer, or other?

 

[bucky]

I believe the square part of the hardware...know what i am saying?

relay rod

i'm 99 % sure it's a relay rod.

 

[bucky]

Anyone know where I can get one. Anyone got one for sale. Tried talking to dealers and they are not understanding me!!!

Call the dealer and tell them you need to order a relay rod, part number 8CX-47494-01-00 you should replace the one that's gotten hit before it breaks as well.

Relay Rod

Why not just weld it? Those rods are strictly under tension (assuming it's not hitting like yours was) so it doesn't need to be anything fancy. Pull it out and either weld it yourself or take to a local welder and have it done. Probably cost less than $10 and will be good as new. As long as it's out, beef up the other side and ride on.

What you don't see is the other half of the rod. It looks like a friggin pretzel!!
