    Default What is this?

    While looking under my 2021 RTL to see if it came with the belt idler (which it does) I noticed this disconnected. Does anyone know what this is in the picture?

    Yea, the red oval needs to be thicker to see it well. That's what I thought it was but I didn't know the right name for it. There is no bolt in the nutsert on the lower control arm. I don't think it was ever attached.

    If you have a BASIC RT it may Not have auto ride control ( my basic 14 RT didn't ) ....without Auto Ride Control it has no function .....jmho .... Mike

    It is an RT Limited. I will put a bolt in it. It's not worth the hassle to take it back to the dealer for this.

    Was it left out or fell off??

    I heard of dealers not installing those bolts.

    Are you bottoming out??

    I'd guess it was left out. I only have 50 miles on it. Not sure if that is something that is installed at the dealer or at the factory. I haven't felt it bottom out but haven't been on rough roads.

    Call the dealer and have them send you one for free. JMO

    Anyway good luck.

    After putting a bolt in the linkage and starting it up I could hear the compressor release air every now and then. It will be interesting to see if it rides any different.
