Does anyone have the long metal round bar that holds the trunk up?
Mine snapped near the left tside of the trunk.
If not, a part Number maybe?

Thanks,

Common part on CV's and GM's. Easy to find at recycle yards or dealers.

How in the world do you snap that part?

I'm not sure that's a bolt on piece. May require some welding

The trunk torsion bars require no welding, but you have to be very careful when you're reinstalling them...they can inflict a lot of damage and pain to those who have never done it.

I'd highly recommend having a body shop put in the replacement.

No bolts either.

The internet has instructions and how to make tools to make installation easier.

Please heed the warnings.

The closest Junk Yard is over 20 miles away.

The Torsion bar snapped on its own between Saturday Night and Monday Morning.

Does anyone have the Torsion bar mentioned above?
