TLDR This heat shield gone, does it matter
So I had to recently change my steering rack...quite the undertaking, but managed it in about 4 hours with the help of info on this forum, much helpful!
I noticed while doing this that the upper chassis brace that links the two wheel arches, had rusted through.
This brace is also a mount for some heat shield, not sure what its protecting, seems to be between the exhaust manifold lower section, toward the cat, and nothing that looks like it would be damaged from heat exposure.
I'm asking because the heat shield is no longer there after I couldn't get it to mount back on to my shiny new brace...
Does anyone know what this is shielding and whether it is going to cause too much trouble no being there?
