    Hello again. I have a dilemma, still working on the 07 I just got, was wrecked in right front. There is a part that has two bolts in it on the very front outside of the right side frame just behind the bumper cross piece, all I have is a diamond shaped piece that used to have a piece of rubber welded to it. The question is what is it and what mounts to it. I find no references to it in any books or posts, and no pictures of that corner.

    Thanks

    there is a counter weight in there. I found it by accident while removing the intake baffle. yours might have been ripped off the plate in the wreck. throw it away and don't worry about it.

    Sweet I was worried it was something to do with the airbag, but I couldn't find any extra wires.
