First, I am talking about the lightweight internal spring clip at the rear of the TM mount. Doesn't seem very robust. And doesn't it supply additionally a small amount of retention front to rear of the LCA?

My guess was it's for safety, in a hard front end crash, TB just push rearward instead absorbing and releasing a lot of stored energy and entering interior of car?

Well?

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
