Default Name that part.

I've been noticing that my steering has been feeling a bit too easy lately. Tonight when going to my car after work I noticed something dangling behind the front driver-side wheel. Since there's one on each side along the steering components, I'm guessing it's part of the speed sensitive steering.



Here's its counterpart.
