I just bought my first vette yesterday a 1979, so far I love it. I backed it out of the driveway and found this when I backed out. It’s about an 1/8” thick “I was thinking perhaps it’s part of phase four hyper drive unit”. Lol. I wrenched quite a few vehicles in my time and have not seen anything like this before ( maybe some sort of wedge clamp to hold something down ).
any thoughts
Looks to me like a shim of some sort, but not sure exactly what from.
Or, it might be from the Flux Capacitor! 🤣

My first Vette, now owned by JB79:
Front suspension A arm alignment shim.
You nailed it. The OP needs which one of the four corners of the A-arms is missing one. Should be the one that is loose.

Thank you. I will check it out this weekend while I’m tracking down an oil leak.

It’s a upper control arm shim
