My question is:

  1. Do i need it?
  2. if so how do i fix
  3. does someone have that broken part for sale

thanks

that part is just for the exhaust hanger.

yea its for the exhaust. that’s probably the # 1 thing that breaks due to rust. is not important but if you really want it just make something
