Name this part?
I found this underneath the Bonneville and was wondering where it came from. I'm going to take a wild guess at sub frame bushing? If so then frig.......frig.............frik'in frig.....And if so, Bill is going to give me HELL, and say "I told you so and I deserve it.
I can always hope it'* not the sub frame bushing bracket, can't I?

Yawn.. You know what it is... it'* the remnants of a subframe bushing.
Good news: you have all of the stuff in a bag in the garage.
Bad news: it'* cold

hiya frank!
the last thing you want is to have the powerplant fall out from under the car going down the highway
if your going to drive on it..keep it limited, cause from here on in your on borrowed time.and its just a ticking time bomb before one of the other bushings lets go then youll have more than just a bushing kit and some new bolts on your hands..then your looking at serious problems
just sayin!..i know you got a nice heater in that garage of yours!! consider yourself lucky..cause myself like some unlucky folks are stuck working out in a cold frozen gravel driveway!
