Default RX 300 power steering help

Can someone please post a picture or a diagram of where this power steering bracket goes? I purchased this vehicle that needed motor work and the prior owner took it apart. Its all back together but I cant figure out this bracket. Thanks

I tried to look but could not find any pictures.

It is going to be a jigsaw puzzle case in 3 dimensions. The part seems like a piece between the engine block and the pump. There is one through hole that might help you. So position the pump in the air and see how you can align it with the engine and the main pulley and then figure out where the piece may go. Or just try to place the piece next to block and see where the holes line-up.

If its actually the PS pump bracket, it can only go in one way. The adjustor bracket is on the front so it would have to be the back bracket. Like Salim, I see no pictures that show that part.

That bracket looks more like an engine mount bracket or suspension part. Looks to beefy to be a PS support.

Cant say for sure, but the heft can be for alignment purpose and the through bolt. It is just too cold to crawl under and figure it our on my RX.
