I wouldn't worry too much, quite common and tell tell sign is a rattle as it hits the exhaust. We ditch them on the race cars completely.

Doesnt look like there is any impact damage there Dunc, the bolt sits recessed slightly.

Looks to me like some cunts snapped it off at some point.

Appreciate the input JT.Whats its real function then John? Would you recommend keeping it in place on a road car? Also, Shimmy is bound to ask how heavy it is so that he can recalculate all his lap times if he takes his off !

It stiffens the car, keeps the diff and mounting tied into the car.

Its a strut brace as such.

I would only remove if you have a cage welded into the diff carrier, if just a bolt in cage I'd keep it.

Technically its a diff support, keep them on the road cars but not needed on race cars if cage has diff support (most do).
