Mystery Hex Nut

[rstewart]

I removed my skid plate today and a 1 3/32" hex nut fell out. Does anyone have any idea where a nut this large would have come from?

If it's from a Mazda it would probably be from the lower suspension arms. I suspect it's
not from a Mazda, can you determine if it's metric? Looks to be a coarse thread inch
nut.

Thanks Clifton, I think I figured it out. Me and a friend were installing the rear motor mount, header and exhaust a few months ago. It looks like it's the factory rear motor mount fastener. The CP-e came with new hardware so the this is probably the original.

I was a little freaked out when a piece of hardware that size fell from the inside of the skid plate. I searched the engine compartment and under carriage throughly and I can't find anything missing.
