He's not the only one. Thought we were talking tension strut too. Sorry fellas.

I've always referred to that rearward one as the control arm. I've also seen it called a lower wishbone for some reason. Oldskewel is right, TIS is notorious for using different naming schemes when looking up torque values. When doing the E70 front suspension I had to make a diagram for myself to keep it all straight.
