[Mk2] [NA] Brace / Strut rusted underneath engine (LHS)

Post by scann2 »

I failed the TUeV (MOT) here in Germany since this part has rusted through, anyone know what it is or the part number, i cannot identify it through any of the tech books and manuals available online? My MR2 is a G-Limited 1993 import. The 1st pic you can see what i mean and the other approx where it is.

As you can see, when the car is on the lift, on the LHS pretty much underneath the engine and in front of the rear wheel, there is this brace held on with one bolt each end, its just above the lower plastic shield very near to where the coolant pipes come out of the tunnel into the engine bay.

I need to order a new one but need to find the part number, any ideas?

Thanks all, any help would be appreciated. :roll:
