Need some help - rear suspension question.
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/25380/a6_rear_suspension.jpg"></center><p>Ok, on my "16 - connecting link" I have a plastic piece connected to the link through a metal mounting. It appears to be held on by tension about half way down. It is actually broken in half and not present at all on the rear passenger side of the car (only driver side rear). There is another mount point (the other broken half) attached to another pivot point which is hard to identify. I didn't have the diagram next to me when starring at the suspension.
I have no idea what it is or why it is there and can't find it in any documentation.
My thoughts: Is it possibly something they used to help with the suspension install? Maybe they just left it on there by accident and now it is broken from driving?
It does not appear to have any impact on the suspension itself.
TIA for any help!
