Hello all,

I took my L in to get a new fog light installed. While they had it on the rack, I showed a tech the infamous moving control arm bolt. After a brief inspection we also noticed a wheel weight on the inside of the driver's side rim was HALF GONE! The wheel weight has been coming in contact with a bolt head that secures a brake line bracket to the control arm, (aft side of control arm). The wheel weight has been sliding around the rim and has chewed the bajezus out of the wheel. I also checked the rear wheel because I have had the tires rotated. You guessed it, major damage to the rim, and the inner wheel weight is GONE! I do not have pics of the problem yet, but I will post them as soon as I get some.

Sorry for the long post, but I wanted you all to be aware.

Later,
Jake...
