Hello fellow mustang lovers. My name is chaz and I am new to the forums. I love driving my v6 mustang, but unfortunately I have had an accident which does not let me do that anymore. I straddled a median in a bank parking lot. What happened was that the car cleared everything up to the engine cradle, which caught and got pushed back. The cradle needs to be replaced, along with the rack and pinion and 2 "mystery parts." This is what I need help with. These two parts are where the engine cradle connects and they have been pushed back and bent up. They are on each side underneath the front floorboard. I have included pictures. I would really really appreciate anyone who could tell me what these parts are and how I could get these. I beg of you, help me please! This is the only thing holding up me fixing my baby!

This is "part a"

This is where both parts are from.

Another, vertical view from where they are extracted

same

part a again

part a again

part b (sorry only one picture)

You'll probably have to go to dealer.Take parts and see if they have a picture that shows the parts.They should be able to help.If you know a good body shop,they might be able to help also.Good luck.

You see the problem is that the dealer doesnt know what it is. There isnt any sort of number stamped in them either.

Do you have a convertable? If so, those are probably torque box braces.

looks to me to be a part of the fender apron, coupe or convert part # is 5R3Z-16054-BA (LH) & 5R3Z-16055-BA (RH)

wow! you are exactly correct. I just got that exact part number from a large ford dealer around here. Now do you know if that assembly comes already welded together or is it all seperate? I hope it is seperate because I only need those two parts. The guy on the phone called it the frame rail assembly. Also do you know of a way to just get these parts seperate from the whole assembly because I dont need anything else and altogether it will be $600+

sorry, they are NOT sold sepperatly as they are a part of a complete structure "16054 & 16055"

Yeah I figured as much. That structure comes pre-welded together also I guess? It would be great if it didnt.
