It was making a rattling noise as the pokey bits on the top made contact with the tire (while turning sharply to the right)
minus-squareZugyuk@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·3 days agoCorrect! It was causing a rattle when making a left turn. Removed, and rattle is gone
minus-squareBeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·3 days agoIf you put it back in the position it would be if the screw was tight and rotate it round are there any little holes the pins would locate into? Potentially in the wheel arch liner?
minus-squareZugyuk@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·3 days agoNo other connection points in the wheel well. It was hanging down away from the attachment point. Checked a wheel arch liner using that parts page linked in this thread, and it doesn’t have anything similar looking 🫠. This thing is driving me nuts
minus-squareBeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·3 days agoAt least you know where it goes. Did you check the same point on the other side of the car?
minus-squareZugyuk@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·3 days agoYeah, checked and it was only present in the driver’s side front wheel well
