thrust arm - should be called caster arm as that is what it controls. sometimes called the tuning fork (due to shape). porsche calls it a control arm. sometimes called a radius arm on other cars. called a thrust arm because it attaches to the control arm via the thrust arm bushing (TAB). that is the common name for this bushing, this is what tarett and all other aftermarket manufacturers call it. and if you gotta ask ...

Thanks, that really helps us newbs!
