woot, so Im under my car putting my exhaust back on and randomly grasp underneath the car so I can get some leverage to get the creeper moving... and feel this large metal piece just loose in there, upon investigation I get the thing out of there, only to find that there is the exact same piece on the other side, except the other one is secure: pics will do much better than my words... (click on pics to enlarge)

here is where I found it (credit to "Turbo Drifter" on sf for the pic)



here it is, out of the car (note the race gas :love: and thats garage carpet, its not the dirty in the house! )



here is my attempt to take a pic of the identical part on the other side of the car:



and for size reference:



and for the record, the car is going down in the near future to fix all the underbody rust, 95% of the body rust is taken care of already.

Thanks in advance for all the help, I have no idea wtf this thing it, its just like dead weight (probably weighs about 4lbs.

It stops the subframe from moving too far under load. It braces the subframe against the body to keep it from coming in contact with it.
