Suspension Question

[86DarganGN]

Hi, I am new to the site but I have been a GN owner for 3 years. I have made several expensive mistakes from a lack of experience. Would someone tell me what kind of rear lower suspension arm bracket I have? Is it stock? I went to a Buick Nationals last weekend and looked under every car, the rear shocks bolted onto the rear.

Thanks

Stamped steel. Looks stock.

Thanks, I am referring to the unpainted bracket that attaches the lower suspension arm to the rear housing. It looks like the suspension arm could attach to the rear without the bracket.

That bracket relocates instant center, the theoretical point where the centerline of the upper and lower arms intersect. It's used to more effectively plant the rear tires during launch

Thanks, I will leave them on!
