Plastic Piece - Worrisome? - Subaru Outback

JerseyOutback · 08-02-2012, 10:17 AM

While pulling into my job this morning (there is a bump that I have to drive over), I heard the sound of plastic against the bottom of my car. One of my coworkers saw the piece come out from under my car, but I am not sure if I just picked something up off the road, or if this is a part from my car.

Should I worry or get this taken into the dealership ASAP to get replaced? Does anyone know what this part is?

My car is a 2001 Subaru Outback wagon.

Not a big deal - subaru online parts you can order one for quite a bit less than the dealer and they go on pretty easily. Shouldn't cost you much - its Ok to drive the car but I would try and get it replaced before the winter weather kicks back in and you have road grime and debri splashing up under the car etc

Thank you all for the input. I actually checked under my car during my lunch break and it is definitely the front right mud guard.
