HELP Bolt Fell Out While Driving!!!!
So I was driving down the road and this bolt fell out of my ****ing car. It is a good size bolt but can't find were it came from. I would really like some help. I did a motor mount install this weekend but I checked everything that I had taken off and those bolts are still on the car... HELP ME PLEASE!

Check your motor mounts --- especially the one by the battery. Looks familiar, and I had one of those bolts try an Exodus . . .

I checked the mounts and they are all good! That's the first thing I looked at! Anyone think it might be a tranny bolt?

like holding the tranny to the bolt? no, they're not tapered like that. Could possibly be a bolt holding the tranny mount to the tranny, unless you still have the studs in there

That looks like an exhaust hanger bolt. I have an extra one sitting downstairs I have to check, but I'm almost positive it's a hanger.

Let me know. There is no way a hanger bolt is the size of my finger though. That's a bit big... but maybe. I'm open to just about anything right now
