un plugged plug, need svXperts help

So I was under my car today investigating a knock coming from the passenger side front wheel and doing a general inspection.

Found an un-plugged plug on the driver side, bundled with the o2' sensors wiring, anybody know what this thing go to? little grey/white plug with 2 prongs, is it just on there in case the car had the speed sensitive steering rack or something?

Thanks everybody

Yes.
Does your SVX have a sunroof, and thereby speed sensitive steering?

Does the "clunk" sound like its low in the car,
on the passenger side,
and only do it once after the car has been started?

Re: un plugged plug, need svXperts help

Passenger side front wheel is what it sounds like, checked all the brakes and suspension point and they are all good except for the front sway bar bushings which I already knew. I did find that the transmission was resting on the torque bar under the diff.

The front diff is resting on the torque bar??
Check the thickness of your engine mounts.
They SHOULD be round if stock and just under 2.5" thick.
If the rear/transmission mount is good,
the over all thickness of the paralell metal plates should be 1.5".

Re: un plugged plug, need svXperts help

The bar was bent up slightly and im using aftermarket engine mounts that moved everything down slightly. Bent the back down so it clears, havent heard the noise for a little while.

How thick are they, from mounting faceto mounting face?
