Hummer H2 For those who like a little more gleam to their Hummer, the H2 offers a similar rugged look as the H1, but as a lower cost, and with more added features, making it almost a massive luxury SUV.

i bought an original from rock auto. it looks like your also missing the 2 metal clips the hold the emergency brake cable to it. they snap onto the 2 barrels that are on the cable. you will see 2 notches on the track bar that correspond to the barrels.

I can drink more beer, yet that still doesn't change a thing. Still NOT OEM, and AcDelco does NOT manufacture, just a distributor. Btw, Dorman is not crap, I can justify. Buy and make believe whatever you want!

ACDelco is an American automotive parts brand owned by General Motors (GM). Factory parts for vehicles manufactured by GM are consolidated under the ACDelco brand, which also offers aftermarket parts for non-GM vehicles. Over its long history it has been known by various names such as United Motors Corporation, United Motors Service, and United Delco. The brand "ACDelco" should not be confused with GM's former AC Delco Systems, formed in 1994 from the merger of AC Rochester Division and Delco Remy Division. In 1995 Delphi Automotive Systems absorbed AC Delco Systems.

U r correct its a track bar. Just replaced it on my 05 H2. Clips that held the break line were rusted and unusable so I used good ol plastic tie wrap. Over all wasn't too bad of a job, but lining up the holes took some time in order to get the bolts back in.

Btw, OEM GM parts are branded:
