1996 300 D I found this part under my car, I looked under the car and could not locate where it should be connected. Its 51/4" long end to end, it looks like a 3/4" closed end wrench on both sides with a 1/4" rode attaches both openings. The part appears to have had a bushing pressed into the openings they are Smooth, at first I thought it might have been brass looking on the inside of the opening, but a magnet does work. Where, what and how? ---

Sounds like you’re talking about this. [http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/ProductDetail.aspx?MfrCode=MCQ&MfrPartNumber=SL458&PartType=78&PTSet=A](http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/ProductDetail.aspx?MfrCode=MCQ&MfrPartNumber=SL458&PartType=78&PTSet=A) If so, you’ll need to replace both. The car has 2 of them. ---

That might be a stablizer bar end link. Remove the front tire and check to see if the link between the stabilizer bar and strut is missing. Tester
