My daughter's car has needed new brake pads for a couple of weeks now, I finally got around to replacing them today. I jacked up the right rear tire, pulled the wheel an noticed something skewering the rear splash guard. My first thought (after what the f$%k is that?!) was that the linkage for the e-brake had come apart. Once I looked closer I noticed it was an 18" long, 1/4 inch self tapping screw! Wow. I was literally dragging along the center of the tire at about the four o'clock position. Pictures don't do it justice. That's a nickel for scale.
I've never seen one like this before. Any idea what it would have been used for originally?
