what is every part in the rear of our cars?
 

Aside from

-drums
- struts
- rear brake shoes
- rubber and steel brake lines
- sway bar

anything im missing? i need to inspect all these pieces. what are the signs of say a bad sway bar?

Do our cars have tie rods?

Re: what is every part in the rear of our cars?
 

Sway bar helps with cornering, increasing stiffness by reducing body roll. It's basically a metal rod, there's no parts that can really go bad except the end links... and even then, why would you even assume you have a "bad sway bar".

im still diagnosing and trying to find out what is causing my rear wheels to drag. Ive replaced everything in the drum in the past week.

Only thing is the steel brake line, the rubber hose and the ebrake cable. My mech doesnt think its any of them though. He says if it was the brake hose or steel line, then my brake pedal would hit the floor (which it doesnt). He says it cant be the brake hoses.

im gonna try replacing one ebrake cable, but what are the chances the rod spring, the push rod and equalizer are bad?

tie rods?!?
if you ever find a car with rear tie-rods, it will be a cinch to parallel park. (although there were some rear wheel steering hondas in the past, but not normal.
Why would a sway bar drag a wheel?!? Is it parted in two and scrubbing the tire?!?

go to barnes & noble or renaud/bray in canada and buy a good car maintenance book and stop posting in the internet until you read and memorize the whole book.
don't make a fool of yourself so many times in front of everyone for things that you don't need to post, darnit....

What i have in my rear? hair, two cheeks, a valley in between and a dirty hole in the bottom of the valley. Sometimes it erupts profusely.

time for a new car? you would spend less on payments than you would repair bills on this one.
