Wow you know that is strange. Once I click on the link above, it shows me the part number as well. Still does not look right. I am curious if this is the part that its busted on my car. I think I might order it anyway to see. Maybe this is what keeps the sensor stable in the bumper.

Still hope ECS can come into this thread and help me out.

Twins, I am going to take off the bumper as soon as I get the parts. I will take pics of this. Thanks again.

Might want to just double-check first before you order. I know they're inexpensive but if you don't need them ...

That way you could confirm that's the part you need if it matches the pics. Another is there's a chance a part number is stamped on there that you could use to track it down.

The diagram at realoem looks like its for the 3.0/4.4 not for a 4.6/4.8 (at least the diagram for the front).

Good luck!

Really good point. My thinking is that I don't want to take the bumper off multiple times. Time is worth more than the $6 part. Too bad ECS charges a restocking fee.

Although as per your instructions on bumper removal it doesn't seem that hard, or time consuming. Maybe Ill take it off tonight. I really want to know what holds that sensor in place.
