Greetings, friends:

While performing an at-home oil change today on my 2006 RDX, I looked at the area around the rear differential to assess the difficulty of changing that fluid myself.

Sadly, I saw something that didn’t look right. It appears there are two large bolts with rubber flanges. It looks to me like the bolt may have come loose on its own and fallen out.

I just had new tires installed but it seems unlikely the tech would need to touch that part.

Anyone familiar with this area of the rear differential?

Thanks for any thoughts.
