While cleaning the rear tire well I found a loose bar. I could not find this bar in the diagrams and I am having a hard time finding a bolt to put in it.
Hard to tell from the pics - but if the car is a convertible CLK, then it's one of four extra support bars that convertibles have, but hardtop CLK's don't. Two in the rear undercarriage, and two similarly positioned ones under the front.
Yep, I have that support bar on my convertible and it too has come loose before. I had to source a new hex bolt to replace the original that had worked it's way loose. I was alerted to the issue when going over a speed bump and hearing a scraping sound. When I investigated, I saw that bar just dangling on one end in the same manner as the one pictured. Unfortunely I can't remember the bolt size. I unscrewed the one on the other side and took it inside the hardware store to match up with. Applied locktite when reinstalling both.
