Default Know where this goes?
I just finished my Oil Pan Gasket, Motor Mounts & Steering Rack replacement. When I was cleaning up the area, I found this washer. Does anybody know where it goes?

Looks like a "thick" washer for the exhaust manifold or for one of the bolts that holds the cross member in.

I believe this fits into the motor mounts somewhere, under the cross member, I think.

The Exhaust manifold and the A-arm was not removed on this go around.
Thanks for the replies, I will see if I can see if anything is missing. Don't want to start removing things again.

Check the PET, the thick washer should be labelled in there.

Looks like one of those aftermarket magnets that can be placed in the oil pan.
Is it magnetic ?

No, it feels like an aluminum washer.

From the PET it looks like #6 which can go on either side of the motor mount. I will see if I can see it tonight.

Head bolt washer. How the hell did that get loose?

That's what I was thinking too Rob. However I do recall this washer when I have taken my front suspension off. Just not sure if it is #6 in the PET or not.

#12 is thick on my '91. Just removed it the other day so it's fresh in my memory.

Maybe if a bottom MM washer, and he has aftermarket MM, this washer would be left over. Meaning there should be two leftover depending on which aftermarket MM was installed.

It isn't bottom MM washer. They're much larger.

It's either the top MM washer, or it's the washer for the bolt which holds up the bottom protection plate on the wheel side of the rack input.
