Changed back to my summer rims/tires recently, and found this pin on the ground. Is this just a hair pin or is this an important pin? I think it came from the front wheels. Please advise. Thanks.

EDIT: took the picture with a small post-it note for size illustration.

hair pin..not a car part

Isn't that what you use to keep your hair out of your eyes?

Seriously, could it be a cotter pin for the wheel hub?

Cotter pin wouldnt have that many humps in it. It would be shorter and thicker without maybe one or two humps.

Def. A Hair Pin

this is too funny!

OMG, I just peed myself. That is definitely a bobby pin that girls use in their hair.
Google "bobby pin" it will tell you about it.

Either that or it might have been a cotter pin in a '73 Datsun pickup!

now that i think about it that may be the pin that holds the body of the car to the chassis. might want to get it towed to the dealer.

LOL yup, great quality parts that holds the G35 together!

I guess there are not too many women in your life ..... or maybe one too many?

Maybe someone was using it earlier to unlock your G then saw you and took off.

Yes, that is a very important pin. That pin holds the sideskirts to the body of the car. Its one per sideskirt. Go put it back before your sideskirt falls off on the highway!

LOL.. These guys are just pullin your leg.. Its a hair pin that girls use.. Don't sweat it bro.

it's the pin for a grenade, watch out
