The picture above that Valk shared shows another low mileage example that does not have a fastener in it.

I suppose DaimlerChrysler determined it was not required, and I would agree, and that would save 50 cents in parts and labor costs on each car not to put one there.

My 2004 NA had a fastener in it, I took it out when I removed the pan to get at the oil drain plug, I could not get the plug back in as I could not get the pan close enough to the bumper flange to engage the plug in both parts, so being an ingenious guy I left it out. 🙄
My SRT does not have one, maybe it did once though. The same problem arose when I tried to insert a fastener, the gap was too large.

Re: Steering Stabilizer

Removing the stabilizer all together? That's a new approach! Never heard of that before. Seems like MB put it there for a reason. Anybody else done this?
