Don't sweat it. I took mine off while swapping gear boxes.   Tony Zuniga (Tony23007) Member Username: Tony23007 Post Number: 112 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Friday, June 20, 2003 - 09:45 pm:    I looked at mine last night and Pual is right, it is the steering shaft, I would leave it alone unless is falling down or comming apart.   Alyssa Brown (Alyssa) Member Username: Alyssa Post Number: 179 Registered: 01-2003 Posted on Friday, June 20, 2003 - 11:24 pm:    It looks like silver duct tape, right? If so, I agree with the others. It's just a heat shield.
