It is at the back of it...we had to remove the wheel, caliper, AND strut to get it off...trust me...took nearly a day...was it worth it? Yes...because I paid $500 for the car...the battery was good and the alternator was used for $30 bucks off of a local...then I changed the oil and put new plugs and wires in it...which was another $50. So it was a $600 car with a new tank of 91. And it was a '97 Eclipse GS FWIW...automatic...which makes no difference here. Sold it for $1100...man I wish I still had that car...
