I've noticed that whenever I drive at night the passenger side headlight seems to jiggle around in accordance with bumps and other anomalies in the road surface. Since I'm not in the car much at night, I never really think about it much other than "well, that's kind of annoying." Today I got the wild hair to take a look, and found that there appears to be a bracket that is totally missing from my car.
Trouble is, I have no idea what it's called, and hence what I should search for. Ideas?
I will try and illustrate what's missing by taking a picture of the driver's side, which is fully intact. It's a 90-degree steel bracket held to the underside of the hood with a nut that goes onto the threaded stud that's affixed to the underside of the hood. (The stud is there). It affixes to another bracket on the hood by way of a nut and bolt. Here's the pic, which you can click on to enlarge:
You can help me! I know it! |
Just checked ny car but I have both. Prob somebody rebuilt the motor and left it off. My drivers side wiggles more than the passenger side but I think these float about abit based upon road conitions assuming the trim ring etc is tight
I did some more research for you..The part you are looking for is the hood hinge bracket. RH 14060285 & LH 14060286.The one hole used a carriage style bolt to keep it from turning when tightening.
I also suggest you look elsewhere first for the jiggly issue. As the 92-96 cars did not have this bracket. Just FYSA
