Default What is this? (Pic) broken suspension piece...

99 996 with 71k miles, new to me as of last week. It has coilovers so the suspension isn't completely stock.

Removed my rim yesterday to have it repaired (bent) and noticed this little guy hanging down, not attached to anything on one end. It appears it is coming out of some sort of sensor? Not sure where it would even attach to.

That explains why I can't see **** at night!

I manually adjusted them with a hex. I suppose I can zip tie it in the down position considering I already adjusted the headlights to where I want them.

Thanks!!

Zip ties, duct tape, and some super glue should hold it Unfortunately you will not see far with this thing dangling like that.
