While feeling around for a dropped nut for the sway bar to frame bushing bracket on my '06 Chrysler Town & Country, I found this loose sitting on subframe piece under the steering rack and sway bar. I don't know if this is a part that a mechanic dropped and couldn't find so he had to replace it with a new one, or whether it got picked up off the road by a tire and ended up where it did. I've posted the picture and the part dimensions (Ø12mm x 85mm) on a Chrysler minivan tech board, but they're baffled, so I suspect this pin is from something else. The little hole is the only hole, and it goes completely through the pin. Anyone recognize it?  |

Solid? It’s not showing any signs of wear anywhere on it. Was it greasy?

Well, when you buy a Chrysler, you get the shaft.  Seriously, though, I was a Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep tech for over a decade. I think you picked that up on the road somewhere. I've found all sorts of random crap hanging out on subframes over the years. |

I think that is probably a locating pin used during assembly when mating the subframe to the unibody.

looks like a torque shaft for the shifting mechanism of a transmission.

Not ever having had a transmission apart, that could be why it didn't look familiar to me. And since my van shifts and transmits power fine, I'll assume it came from someone else's transmission. |
