Hi Guys,

My car felt slightly wierd yesturday, the front wheel didnt feel right.

So I have just done a quick investigation and it seems like there is a metal piece behind the wheel (real shiny) anyone know what it could be?

the drivers side doesnt seem to have this piece of metal behind it

I've no idea to be honest mate.  I thought it was something to help keep the brake lines tidy
