It was making a rattling noise as the pokey bits on the top made contact with the tire (while turning sharply to the right)

No other connection points in the wheel well. It was hanging down away from the attachment point.

Checked a wheel arch liner using that parts page linked in this thread, and it doesn't have anything similar looking 🫠.

This thing is driving me nuts

At least you know where it goes. Did you check the same point on the other side of the car?

[–] Zugyuk@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Yeah, checked and it was only present in the driver's side front wheel well
