Can anyone tell me if they know what these two oval plates are from. They were in a box of old suspension components. They are about 1/16" thick and approximately 4" long.

Thanks,

Matt

.5 mm x 1.5 mm or 5 mm x 15 mm or 50 x 150?

The plates measure 1/16" x 4-1/8" x 1-7/8" or in mm they measure 1.5mm x 104mm x 48mm. The holes are 7/16" or 11mm.

They look like the plate that goes between the front anti-roll bar bracket and the frame.

BMP wins the prize. Now go put them back where they belong.

Thanks beermanpete! That looks to be correct. After you posted I searched online for a picture and found them, then looked at my car and didn't find them. They shall be returned to their original home.

Thanks again,

Matt

Out of curiosity, why is a plate required between the bracket and frame? If I'm visualizing correctly, it sounds like it would push the bar forward in vehicle, so maybe for packaging the bar? Perhaps your front bar is a larger aftermarket one and a PO removed the spacers to get it to fit?

My car doesn't have the roll bar spacers (#907) though I know it has a reinforcement plate inside the frame rails but I think all of them have that reinforcement. I know the engine was replaced.

Ah, I was wrong, the spacers move the bar down, not forward. Still odd, I can't think why they'd be there.

On an off topic note, what is the component just above the sway bar in your picture, Mike? Your question mark is almost touching one of the bolt heads. I have a fair amount of oily coolant, or maybe watery oil, dripping off of mine. Sorry about the threadjack, but it's a good picture.

bacarl,

That is the oil pump, long may it continue to work well. I had a leak in the water pump recently but it didn't drip where you are experiencing it, it was dribbling down the front cover.
