Front End Parts: What is this that fell out? Hello,
I have a 1997 T/A and when closing the hood today the following part fell out from the front-end somewhere.
It is 3/16" thick and looks like a shim or spacer? Can anyone please tell me where it goes?
Thank you.

Sorry, the closest I can get is under the front end somewhere. Between the tires towards the right side. But I think I heard it clank off of someting or two on its way down so it might have bounced.
Do they use thick shims like this on the fenders?
Anyone else? Thanks.

Thank you everyone. It was a fender bolt shim.
Right side, front one just rear of the headlight. I would have never found the missing spot without you, as the shim is hidden behind the bolt up under the lip of the fender.
Every fender bolt, both sides, was a little loose. Shim falling out, and all loose bolts on a 17k mile car?
