Just fitted a tow jaw to my D3 and have located two rather large free hanging weights either side of the spare wheel... Short of taking a photo I'm not too sure how else to descirbe them. Each hangs either side of the chasis leg and is free to rotate or swing fore & aft. They can actually swing into the chasis / bodywork and clunk as they do so. They look as though they should be there but I can't quite work out why!

I'm wondering what they are?

Any ideas?

They are dynamic dampers, and should be allowed to swing freely, as apparently they make a huge difference to the ride quality on the back end. Often the get caught on tow bar wiring if it not well fitted.

Your D3 must be a boy then!
