Hi there,

Im new on type. 12 hours to be exact hahaha. Noticed while doing the walk around, in the wheel well there is an orange tube called a torque bar (it says can turn without notice, may cause injury or death). Anyone know what it does or what its for? Everyone I have asked hasn't a clue.

Regards
