Hi Volks
    I need some help.  I was driving my Vanagon Westy along today and noticed a rear wobble. I stopped to look and found my right (passenger) wheel at a slight tilt and my, this is where I need help, suspension broken.  I do not know the correct terminology for this.  I would call it a swing arm in an older bus.  It's the large formed steel channel, a squashed oval piece that connects up just behind the rear jack point, it's bolted to swing I am pretty sure, and the other end carries the coil spring, lower shock mount, I think the axel/wheel mount or what carries the mount, etc..  Can anyone tell me what I'm talking about?  Can this suspension piece be purchased through a list vendor, or VW only, or welded only??  I know what all this stuff does, but am having a hard time expressing myself due to a lack of the correct terms, and am unsuccessful at searching 'cause I don't know what to call the broken parts.
    Any help would be appreciated.  The bus is going onto a ramp truck and off to my mechanic in the morning and if I should know something it would be nice to know beforehand.
