A 1993 Ford Taurus - There is a rod 27" long, straight 5/8" in diameter, with two rubber bushings on each end, it ran horizontal with the cars body from the drivers side rear wheel to the frame of the car. What is is called?

- in addition the vehicle in question is a 3.0 Sedan. We first realized the problem when the entire wheel moved freely hitting the front wheel well to the rear of the wheel well. We ordered a sway linkage repair kit because in the piture it looked like it, but it was over half the size of the actual bar we need. We also order the lower control arm, and it was not it either. This bar that broke is about a good 3lbs, really heavy duty, a circular bar, not flat. Thank you!

let me rephrase that - the sway linkage repair bar and kit, was only a good 12", what wee need is nearly 27."
