While I was under the car today relocating the new fuel pump (another story in the tech section), snapped a few photos to maybe help the discussion. The one from the side is the rear showing the protection under the rear flange. The others are all of the front - difficult angle to get holding the phone up there - I forgot also the drag link runs inside the unit as added protection. Forgive the oily diff but I guess some of you may be used to the sight of that.
