Hi there,
This is for the Patrol GU 1998 GL
I had a rattle in the steering wheel with a metallic sound on bumpy roads.
When removing the airbag I found this metallic piece hanging lose by some remain of a rubber suspension.
I don't know and cannot figure out its function or eason th be there so I removed it and drive without a rattle now again.
Anybody who can guess what this part is all about.

Re: Removed this part from steering wheel
End of March I drove through a very corrugated road in Venda on our way to Makuya park.
A screw came loose and the hooter started to go off each time I turned the wheel. I took out the fuse to make the hooter stop and had it fixed for free by the Steering Suspension Fitment Centre in Randburg (SSFC). That was because it was a quick fix, but generally otherwise they are not cheap. The guys runnig the shop do lots of 4x4, and have a SA Nationals bakkie too. The one owner also drives a Patrol. if you ever make your way to Jhb, I can recommend them.
