Need a part number (pics)

[Arachnotron]

While replacing the plugs on my buddy's LS, I noticed this bar under the car was broken. Anybody know what it is and have a part number? Thanks

Thats the same bar that's bent to hell on my car. Mine isnt broken though. Not sure on the part number, but the general consensus among others here is that its not really that important.

Looks like damage from a service visit to me. Some skills might have put the lift under there thinking it would be strong enough to hold up the car.

Not needed, early LS's didn't have and didn't need them.

May as well just take it off.

It is a crossmember brace and a replacement will run you about $115 online.
