Name of part ontop of differential

There's this part that goes from the top of the differential towards the front of the car and attaches to the body. I can't seem to figure out what the thing is called so I can get a replacement as the rubber bushings in it are shot. Been replacing a lit of parts this weekend on the front end, now looking at the back end. it's obvious this pony hasn't been taken care of very well...found a spark plug without a center electrode when I replaced those a couple years ago.

It's on my wife's 2005 convertible 4.0L V6 if that helps.

Take a pic if you can; that would help.

Here’s what it looks like. Goes from the top of the differential to the body, probably to right under the “back seat”.

thanks! I could only get search results for new differentials, sway bar links, lower control arms (probably need to replace those too...except the differential).

But first new brakes up front and new brake fluid.

Yeah that's the upper control arm, and the upper control arm mount (the mount is the bracket it connects to and then it connects to the body)
I replaced mine with an adjustable BMR upper, the one with the poly bushings at both ends.
Love it.
