Wiring routing rear differential?
I recently had a clutch & rear gear change by others. When I finally drove the car there was a lot of new noises, buzzes and vibrations coming from the rear area.
I have found improper routing of brake lines rattling on the body, exhaust over axle pipe sitting on the differential...I'm able to sort thru that.
My concern is the wiring loom that is suppose to be under the LH rear Tie is routed above it. The problem is when the car sits on the ground & the Tie Rod moves up-wards it push on that wiring loom.
That wiring loom plugs or connects & goes into a LH rear compartment area. Is that a plug that disconnects? I need relocate that wiring loom correctly underneath the Tie Rod. Or do I remove the LH rear Tie Rod?

Those wires that go into the LH rear compartment is for the F45 shocks. It does unplug (from what I remember) but make sure to disconnect the battery before unplugging it. I think the issue is the plastic holder for the wire loom was broken, lost or forgoten to be reinstalled.

Thank you, there is tape around the connector that has been cut.
I have looked at it and I have not seen that that of connector before if that is what it is.
Yes my car is F45.
There is also a couple of screws/bolts that look like they hold it in place,I may be able to undo & re route it correctly that way.
Thanks again.

Good luck on the wiring, but I would double check the brake lines and make sure they are not only routed correctly but that they are firmly held in place. I had a shop do some transmission work and they did not anchor the brake lines down. The brake line was then free to move around slightly and it rubbed my inner CV boot and destroyed the boot. Grease was everywhere. Luckily the line did not rub on anything else or I could have ruptured a brake line.
It looked OK, and I was not familiar with the anchors so just looking at them didn't help.
Just a heads up, hopefully your fine.
