Default Any one know what this is?
I was driving and heard something clunking underneath the car, I looked in the rear view mirror to see this rolling around behind me...


Is this part of my car? If so Where does it go?

Default Uh oh.....Looks like a...>>
Subframe bolt. Either the Haldex one seen here or one of the front rear subframe mounts. Look straight in toward the center from the rear of the front wheel well....There is one of these on each side. If they're both there, check the Haldex mount.....

Had any work done lately?

Default Look at his pics again. I see "never sieze" on that bolt. Had to have been worked on...
..as that should not be used on any critical bolt.

Not that that's super critical. I'd bet front end work...
