Hello,

Rust has gotten my 97 Cavalier. The manual calls the part "Front Suspension Support" but I can't find the part out there by that name. I don't know weather it's a body part or a suspension part. It's the part that 2 lower control arms attach to and then to the frame, any help out there ?

Thanks
Take Care

I don't know if I am too late to help you or not. But I have a 98 cavalier and I got mine replace K frame or Engine Cradle from a junk yard in PA. Half the price of a new one from the dealer. Took me and a couple of friends about 2 hours to get it out with the use of air impact tools. I don't really think you can get it out without the impact tools. Bolts are so hard to get moving and out. I am looking to replace the bolts for the K frame and lower control arms which I will have to get from a dealer I hope this helps.
