Part Location? No hits...on W.W.W
Part location needed. My Andy shop give me part number 2103509208. Did he give me the wrong part number? He told me it’s a knuckle in the rear passenger side is starting to have some play. I like to keep my baby in tip top shape. Gave her new brake pads yesterday Akebono. Thanks Ohlord for the recommendation. Hopefully with my new rims I won’t have to wash the rims when I get home after leaving the car wash lol
Links would be great
Thanks in advance
Have a Great Weekend!!!!!! Finally no rain here in New England rained for 11 days straight!

Not sure on the knuckle but try Potomac German Auto in Maryland and Florida for good used. Also EBC Red Stuff pads are practically dustless and made of ceramics compound. Great stopping power and no need for anti squealing paste. These are very quiet.

Getting price
quote from one of my people.
Is it the knuckle bushing that is sloppy?
If so you can replace both,cheaply.
and if that parts.com place is
% higher on all of its prices than other online wholesale supply houses, I would be sure not to shop there.
example mass air sensor your car $265 v.s. $154 on autohausaz.com and free shipping.
People gotta shop around more
Be sure you bed the akebonos in properly.

I've found parts.com is normally the cheapest, but yes, certain parts like air filters and MAF they are more expensive. Their price on 722.6 fluid is by far the cheapest I could find, at least last time I bought. It pays to shop around, though.

Here's the schematic from parts.com
There's the knuckle (#3). #4 is listed as rear wheel bearing, $160. I'm having trouble reading the diagram, but maybe this will help someone else.

Play is
usually at the bushing located at the control arm near the knuckle.$20 bucks each at autohausaz.com
a bit of play in the knuckle itself is normal and you could wait along time to replace it,unless excessive.

Ohlord just PM me the bushing piece at Authause for $21 Big ones 
I'll have him do the wheel bearing while he's in there as well. Just did the fronts 2 months ago (parts from Autohause) so I'm sure the rear isn't to far behind.Thanks again guys!
Waxing her right now

And bed
in the akebonos properly. Check wheel lug torque in 200 miles. And you will have little to no brake dust issues no more
always good to check torque on lugs after you have had the rims off for any reason.80ft lbs. DRY and Clean.

I can't tell you how frustrating it is to have your wheels washed and 30 min. later from a highway run, wheels are completely black again. I hate it due to the fact that I hand wash her always.
But no more!!!! No mas!
