Someone'* been junk yarding!!

Oh yeah. I have too. I have to stay on top of things and get parts now while I can still find these cars in the yard.

I typically buy extra parts so just in case something gets broke or goes missing I can replace it. Parts for 20 year old cars are hard to come by.

The polished dog bones I found were unlike any other I have ever seen. They are slightly different then the factory ones.

One is aluminum and the other is cast iron?

A magnet will not stick to the black one. Meaning it'* not iron. It'* probably aluminum as well, but the casting looking different. I'm 99% sure the black ones were the original dog bones that came with the car.
