I am looking find out what its called and were can I get it!! There are two bars that extend from a bolt above wiper motor and they go to left and right fender, I have the stud there but missing the bars. I think they are roughly 37-31 inches long. They are going on my 1972 Plymouth Satellite Sebring. Any help is appreciated! Erick

I believe they are simply called "Fender Brace" 3573646-647 (R/L).
All though I've never known what they brace. If you take them off they really do nothing.
MAybe it was an impact thing to keep the fender from colapsing in a collision.
Anyway, I think that is what you are looking for. My 73 Charger has them as well.
If I'm not mistaken they had them right up through 79 B bodys.

I know in the FOMOCO world, those are called 'Shock Tower Support Braces'. Back in the day when Ford rolled out the big block motors in the Mustangs, the torque was more than what that area of the car could safely handle and things started flexing & breaking. (Don't ask me how I know that).

So the braces were added to stiffen the inner fenders by tieing them in structurally to the firewall.
