Hello! First of all, I'm new here. Secondly . . .lets get right to business.

My girlfriend was apparently not all that great of a driver a few years ago(before i met her). Her family had an '04 dodge stratus. One day she was backing out of the driveway and something caused her to panic and intend to hit the break. . . instead she floored the throttle and backed the car right up over and past the 12" high retaining wall at the edge of the drive. She ended up out in the yard.

The family still has this car sitting out back and have replaced it with something else. I went out and tried the key and it fired right up after over a year of sitting. I haven't had a chance to put it up on a lift to see the damage but there was one part on the ground after the event. I was wondering if anyone could help identify the particular part so that I had some idea what I will see when I get it in the air.

also, the car seems to drive just fine at low speeds.

I have attached two photos of the part which is rubber and seems to have a broken piece of plastic or "pot" metal in the middle.

I tried searching the number stamped on the rubber but had no luck

 

second picture. . . .

Thanks in advance!!

 

looks like a body mount

 

I was thinking the same thing but just found it odd that sliding the bottom of the car across a piece of concrete would only break a body mount bolt. Seemed more likely that a steering or suspension component would end up broken.

I suppose I really won't know until the next time I visit her place and take a look at the car.

Thanks for the input!

 

the background beverage may be a contribution to this problem

looks like crossmember to body bushing

 

haha the background beverage was not being as much help as expected in identifying the part. I'll be under the car this weekend so we'll see what the damage is. Thanks guys

 

Looks like a part number stamped on it there. Call or take it to the dealer to see if they could look it up.

 

like those guys working hard have nothing better to do. how about jack up the car and look first.
