What am I looking at in these pics that looks to have sheered off?





It's under the front of an '02 1.4 Clio.

Ive never done one on a clio, but it shouldn't be too hard. The hardest bit will probably getting underneath the car any sense unless you have a good jack, or access to a lift.

easy change once underneath the car with it safely on axle stands. Never seen one snap like that though, its usually worn bushes in each end. Looks a bit shiny too... wonder if its been changed in the past and a cheap alternative has been fitted maybe?

Edit, just looked again and the first pic looks like an old one so maybe its the illusion of the camera flash.
