Help guys! What is this?
Help guys! What is this?
My left front brake was off while replacing some wheels studs. After reinstallation, this was found on the ground. What is it and where does it go? I dont want to drive around if it is needed.
don't know exactly where that goes but i'm sure you need it.. it's a pin to keep a screw/nut from coming un-done while you're driving.. maybe it's one of the nuts that holds your caliper in place.. who did the work for you? best to get it back on asap lol.. good luck
