HELP! Spring install

drufe · 05-12-2013, 03:46 PM

I'm really hoping someone can help me out here as I'm trying to get my car done today. I'm installing new coilovers and in the middle of doing my rear springs, I didn't notice this little wiring bracket thing on the driver's side lower control (swing) arm. When I dropped it to pull the old spring out, one end of it came off and I can't for the life of me figure out where it connects. Here are a couple pics of what I'm talking about and the one where I'm holding it is the end that's come loose and I'm trying to determine where it needs to connect back up to. I don't think anything broke off but I could be wrong.

Never mind, I figured it out. I was looking too far towards the wheel and it was more toward the center of the car. There's a little hole in one of the frame cross members that it goes into and it popped out. All better now.
