What is this thing?

Probably showing my newbness here, but what is the thing circled in the pic below? I had to take it off to install my new wheels so I hope it wasn't important, LOL.

Sorry if this is a repost - searched but didn't find anything.

It is a bolt that prevents you from mounting rear wheels on the front. IF you are trying to put on aftermarket wheels, you must remove that bolt first.

You should add that to the "weight savings Thread"

.000000002 of a lb saved by taking out this bolt. KIDDING...Have to admit, some of those posts are comedy.

I also had no idea what that thingy was, I removed it when I swapped my rotors because I could find no purpose for it.
