Hi , I have a saxo desire and I looked under the bonnet today and a long bolt looks like it's coming out. It's right at the back horizontal right by the wheel arch . I havnt seen it before , any ideas what this is please ?? Thanks

I know mate,it says I can't add an attatchment though but I'll try. It's right at the back and down right by the wheel arch . It runs horizontal and look like a long bolt is coming out towards the drivers side ?

You're not talking about the track rod are you?

If it's driver side (uk rhd) it'll most likely be some sort of mounting bolt, I would say the drive shaft bearing brace mount but for some stupid reason I got a picture of a 206 in my head and can't picture the back of 1.1
Get under there and get it screwed back in asap, just in case it pops out on the motorway and torpedos some poor buggers rad, windscreen, brain!!!!!!

Either that or the steering ram,which should be covered by a rubber gaiter.
