What's this?

Backing into a parking space I heard a ting like something ejected from my front driver wheel and couldn't find what fell out. Put it on a lift and saw this dangling down

How did that snap? Glad it didn't happen while you were on the highway.

Here's the link to the whole breakdown of the front suspension:

It's the arm for some leveling sensor. I was backing into a parking stall and PING! I hear something snap, hit the ground etc. I watched something metallic fly into a storm drain. Took it to the dealer, and sure as ****...that was attached to the lower suspension, and where it attached was a gap of metal that just was gone.:scratch

New ones are $250, but my sensor isn't malunctioning. I just need the arm. Anyone have one?

If that's the leveling sensor for your head lights, it just wont auto level your lights.

You can always try to get it rewelded if cost is a problem,

I'm just surprised it snapped like that, looks like it's pretty sturdy.

FWIW, your sensor won't malfunction, but your AFS headlights will, in a way that the lights won't go up or down correctly since it is missing the arm.

My AFS light goes on once in a while. I turn the car off, turn it back on, AFS light turns off. Welding it isn't an option, since a chunk of it is missing. I just need the arm!! :lol

It's cheap cast aluminum. :O

What I meant was, it looks pretty sturdy for its purpose. which is to help with the leveling arm for the AFS sensor.

That sensor is free-moving, so it shouldn't have a lot of resistance to stop it and cause it to snap.

Have you found a solution?

if you know the distance of how much of a chunk came off, you can still take it to a aluminum welding shop and have it rewelded with a new piece of aluminum for $40-50. You just need to know the gap inbetween.

Here's a place selling it for 50 bucks. Since you only need that arm, maybe you can make something back selling just the sensor.

GL!
