spare tire part

[mike561]

my 98 gp is missing the little rod that runs all the way through the foam holder, jack and up to the spare tire where you screw on the little circular holder, i have the circular holder thing, i just need the whole rod that runs straight up, what are those called also? it was missing when i bought the car and i cant find out where to get one, is there any place online that might have one or an auto store?

A junkyard would be a good place to get one, or go to the hardware store and get a threaded rod(approx 10"- 12") and bend one end in a vice to resemble the old one.I dont think this is a common part in the auto store, and dealer will most likely have it but, why pay more?
