Default What's this engine cover? (92 LS400)

Okay, i bought a new under cover and these two parts circled in red. Where do they go??

I have looked for pictures but found none. If anyone still has these on could you clue me in or take a photo of yours?

Thanks for the help.

I dont have the ancer, but i have a solution to find out the ancer. Call a LEXUS dealership and ask to speek to there maintaince department and ask them, they will know for shure. Just make shure you have the part # handy when you call.

try that and let me know if it works. good luck, hope it works for ya

Are they plastic or metal?

If metal, these are cross member support braces that will have the sway bar pass through when mounted. Otherwise, it would be a side engine undercover. If you have the part#, I'd call and verify fitment.

From what I remember with ALL the times I've been under my car those are the two front engine covers. I'm pretty sure they go on the side in the front of the main engine cover. I've never taken mine off, just the main and rear side covers. The front push-pin clip, I think, goes into the bumper maybe.
For future reference; every time I need to see a pic of the car I go to http://www.lexls.com/tutorials/ first. He's got a boat load of pics that help alot. I like pics.

Yes they are plastic and i do have them here but as i looked back under the car. I think they are tucked under the front corners. There are two lower flat covers that are next to the main under cover. Will have to look again today and take a picture.

I did look all over for other photos and lexls but none with that much detail for the front underside.

Thanks for the comments.

Have to wonder if OCR post is a joke. Funny way to begin ones introduction.

Welcome anyway.

BTW looked back under car didn't see what i thought so really not sure where these parts go. Says is part cover for 90-94 models. Will ask Sewell if they know for sure if not probably going to return those pieces.

Eh, could be young. These kids nowadays can't spell right b/c all the abbreviations for text messages. They learn that garbage too early, before learning the correct way. Or he could be from a foreign country and just learning to read and write English.
If you can't find where those covers go on your car they might be used specifically for a Canadian model LS. If ya don't need them and you're able to return them, go for it, get some money back. That's always a good thing.

I think I found that cover while searching for something else. Looks like it sits above the strut bar and the stabilizer bar goes through, or next to, it. Check out pic in step #3. Is that it? http://www.lexls.com/tutorials/trans...ransflush.html
