Oldfart's pro tip for today. If you just sprayed WoolWax on your A arms last week, DO NOT let the back of your head bump against the A arm multiple times while you are trying to figure out how the dealer screwed up your bumper wing the last time they had it in their shop. Put an old crappy hat on your head first!
I was detailing my truck, hadn't done it in a while, and as I washed the passenger side bumper wing I noticed it moved a little, obviously it was loose. I assumed the retaining bolt that holds one of the rod ends that holds it in position must have vibrated loose. I crawl under and reach up and the bolt on the frame end is still there, the bumper end bolt is still there, and the rod end feels intact. Once I stuck my head up in that hole to see what was going on I see the attachment bolt on the wing is fully tightened into it's hole, but was not put through the rod end! The only time it's been at the dealer was for the camera replacement. I'm not too sure how or why you would tighten the bolt that now attaches NOTHING, but that's what I found. I guess you never know what you will find. At least it was a super easy fix.
