F'n a, forgot to answer this one. That part there is a radius arm, if i read my manual correctly. It won't come out unless you unbolt it from the LCA. If you are going to go that far, you will probably need to pull aparts the front suspsension to make it easier to get to. The parts above that pic is the end link.

plus you've lowered the car, that will cause alot of odd behavoir with bushings that have been sitting a certian way for 100k miles.
