help!! found L bracket underneath my car

[red93gthb]

the bracket:

where it was hanging:

how i found it:

is this a major fault? i just got the car about a week ago. since this is loose should i check for any damage from it shaking around or from just not being connected

I dont think that goes with your car....

Never seen one of those. Toss it in the trash and enjoy your weight savings.

Those are some nice looking torque boxes.

ot for your car... either someone thought about making some torque box reinforcements out of em... or it got picked up off the road just right and swung itself up in there...lol

ok thats really weird... well i guess its less weight because the thing is solid and weighs damn near 5 pounds

Prob one hell of a lucky bounce

throw it in the garbage...

well my dad said it might be a frame bracket... he owned a 91 for 15 years until he gave it to my brother but still maybe?

 

[bentley429]

Yep because mustangs have frames.

looks like a custom torque box reinforcment bracket to keep the hyperfootination valve from vibrating around corners to me

Not a factory Mustang part. Throw it away.

"throw at dad"

"walk off"

Looks like a bracket they use at auto body shop for straightening frames.

I think that gets welded to the driveshaft. ITs a driveshaft balancer
