Default What is a track bar mount?

I took my car to a muffler shop to have them look at an exhaust rattle. A loose clip or something was causing the rattle. They also discovered the trac bar was broken. Not sure what that is. The guy said the transmission mount twisted a bit - something about the rubber not moving if the transmission is torqued.

It was in the general vicinity of the transmission mount.

From this picture and from what I remember, it's the end piece on the right that's broken. Is it hard to replace?

If the torque arm itself broke its not very hard. Just buy a good quality one like UMI or BMR
