Hey guys, I've been swapping the tires on my Gen 8 Civic for years. Three seasons for the nice sunny climate, and winters for the...well, you get the idea! I know enough about my Civic to do the simple maintenance items: oil/ transmission fluid/ bleeding brakes / coolant / repairing the passenger side mirror (yes -longer story behind that). I've known that this part exists, but I honestly have no idea
what it does:
I've tried google image search, saw that this thing shows up in the background of youtube repair video's on Civic's for replacing rear wheel suspension. But for the life of me, I don't know if it's pointed the right way or should it be connected a certain way?
It sits on the rear driver wheel, a little behind the bearing.
