Random Bolt

[98mustanggtkid]

Hey all,

So yesterday I was driving home when my mustang started making a metal on metal noise. It turns out there was a bolt that somehow bot stuck behind my water pump pulley. I know this might be a long shot but in the picture below any idea on maybe where it came from? I checked all the brackets and areas I thought it might have come from but nothing was out of the ordinary. Also its not from the water pump it self.

Thanks for any help!

Chris

Check throttle body, iac, tps, and upper manifold bolts.

No joke, I found that exact bolt on the floor of my race car last weekend.

I think I know that bolt. Does it tighten when you turn it to the right, and loosen when it goes to the left? If so I think I know that bolt....

This may be a shot in the dark but I'm betting it's a 1998 Mustang..... You know because his screen name is 98mustangkid. and he did mention it came from his Mustang

lol. hey. you shut your mouth when youre talking to me.

I ask because my name on corral is mustangchris88, and everyone PMs me asking if i have 88 mustang parts for sale. lol. so its always possible he got a new ride.

and those are clearly standard threads, not reverse. FYI ;-)

anyways, if it is a 98 stang, it looks like a water pump pulley bolt, or a unpainted body bolt.
