My Mechanic broke a black plastic clip supposedly link to a sensor lever that was hooked to the rounded end of the control arm link.

What sensor is that and it was attached to only one side of the arm. I am trying to replace this piece before he completes the fixing, but I just couldn't figure out what part is it and what does it serve.

Anyone that can enlighten?

Thanks

I broke the same part. I used two wire ties to make an X across the top if it - works great.

Is there a part number to this clip?

Does it matter if this clip is not replaced?

What is this thing anyway? It seems like there is a connecting rod that moves a lever everytime the control arm link moves. I am confused.

If you tell me the item number from the pic I posted I'll look up the part number and price for you...

I think you are talking about part #21 in the picture?

If so, I believe it holds the bottom half of the lever that is part of an angle sensor, which I believe is part of the lintronic headlights.

thanks loren and ericinboca,

the broken clip looks like it's at the position of #21 , but from the diagram, the shape doesn't seem the same. I have attached a photo of the broken clip. it is rounded with an extension on one end. Any part number for this? Is this the clip that attaches the lever that controls the angle of the headlights?

Thanks guys.

The sensor (item 18) sends a signal to the headlights where a motor inside the headlights adjust the headlight angle for hills.

Is this part on the front or rear of the car? Looks like the rear in the picture.

Loren,

thanks, that should be the diagram, except that the black plastic clip is the one attached below part #20 and it is not in the diagram.
