is it the thing that covers the thing on a front wheel axle rack and pinion type steering thing on a rear wheel drive car?
a brace? of some sort... bulkheAD??
steering column support bracket thingy... y'know the bit under the dashboard... possibly with pedal box bracket on??
I'm gonna go with Kaillum on this one - location wise... looks deffo like there's a bit for the steering column to go through... but I'm gonna take a stab in the dark and say it's part of the rollcage?
looks like a brace of some sort :confused:
Ok - further guess, cabling conduit... :S
OK...Kaillum, Tumble and Skii........and obviously Coco who knew EXACTLY immediately
It is the strut behind the dashboard (of a Zafira, but most Vauxhalls are similar) to support the huge weight of the dashboard....it DOES have a Steering column support too, so Tumble is right on :)
It also supports the airbags, which need a very strong support, as they deploy hard and fast!
Its 52inches long, and its made of 3inch steel tube.
And when a dashboard is out...the car looks like THIS! The STRUT pictured earlier went across this entire car.
Reasons NOT to fiddle with your own modern car's dashboard! ;)
