Yes, I know there the front suspension of the 350Z has a split LCA (lower control arm) ... I don't know how to classify the two parts, so I'll just refer it to the B-arm (A-arm in front, B-arm towards the rear of the front suspension). There's a thing coming off this LCA, but for the life of me, I can't figure out what the hell it's there for:

 

1. Shielded CO2 cartridge housing for the optional Crossman pellet gun?

2. Dairy farmer's grab handle?

3. Clinton's emergency humidor?

Seriously, I'd like to know as well. Curious little thing isn't it?

 

Well all those could be part of the 007 package.... oops i wasnt supposed to tell those who didnt pre-preorder back in 99'....

 

It's the steering stop.

 

Geeez, this had so much potential fun built in.

 

Explain...

 

It is simply a physical bumper to stop your steering at the end of it's travel. Lock to lock.

 

Interesting... never noticed anything like that before...
