    Pic request. 8tch Eye Dee auto level switch

    Ok...so you prolly read a previous post of mine where I mentioned my auto level switch is broken. I know what the switch looks like...but am unsure how it attaches to the control arm.

    I am in no huge hurry...but if one of you gangsters would take a pic of the arrangement, th next time you have your front passenger tire off....I would be most humbly grateful.

    Thanks.

    IIRC I've got pics in various states of dis-assembly but I never took a pic of the finished repair.

    old sensor with jerry-rigged wire that worked until I got the new sensor compared to the new sensor.

    You can see it hanging behind the tie rod in this shot.

    The other piece that attaches to the control arm should still be there. Mine was. Pop that wheel off and you will know exactly what you need within 5 minutes.

    Mine was the switch with a hinged plastic piece coming off of it connected to a bolt that fits through the hole in the control arm. It looked like all one piece.

    Dane, when you get that wheel off and see the parts I'm certain you'll be able to figure it out. It's a fairly simple but rather ingenious design.
