Hey all,
Ive been looking at an ‘89 4runner and the owner sent me a few photos of the undercarriage and I was curious about something in one of the photos.

What could the silver wire between the leaf springs and wheel be? Thanks

 

Looks like the string from a balloon. Ask him if he drove through any birthday parties recently

 

Grounding wire. LOL!
I do not see any wire connecting the leaf spring and the wheel.

 

Driver side axle right at the wheel

 

Haha! That’s what I was thinking, maybe just drove through something and it wound itself around there. I never noticed anything like it on my ‘86.

 

I think they're right. It was picked up off the ground someplace. Get rid of it.
Pat☺

 

looks like shredded plastic that got blown off a trash hauler or from a load of recycled plastic
