Question about a bolt.

[Bryan921SS]

Was looking under the hood of my 96 Cutty 3100 tonight and found a bolt wedged between the collant recovery tank and the shock tower. It is threaded about 1/2 of its length (2 1/4 inches), and says M 9.8 on the top/head area.

 

Any idea what this bolt might have come from?? Thanks a lot guys/gals

a bolt from your car. are you missing any? it might be from the strut bracing. if you are lucky, someone replaced it already.

it sounds likr the bolt that goes on the alternator to the engine bracket if its a 13mm or 1/2" head on the bolt.

 

 

... and if you mean that 1/2 the bolt is threaded, and the threaded part is 2 1/4" ... im assumming you not , but anyways, that would be a dogbone mount if its 4 1/2" total length
