Part identification help
 
Heard a clank was not sure if I ran over something or this fell off my 1986 911. Can anyone identify this steel part for me? Thank youhttp://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1684789715.jpg

Not Porsche.
Looks like a fence pole clamp…at least half of it. Good thing the car in front of you didn’t kick it up at your hood or windshield.

Thank you! Better go check my new tires…

Looks suspiciously like an omega spring end

Guess you have never seen a Omega spring, that is definitely a piece of a Porsche.

Thank you 917.you are spot on

Guess the ol' pattern recognition is still working....

Better to find these things out in the driveway rather than away on some road trip. Be sure to scour YouTube to find the helpful trick in installing the new spring.

Will do. Again thank yiu for your help.

And, after you heard the clank, did you find that your clutch would no longer work?
