What is this part?  I found it in the bottom of a bin which was in the Official Parts Department of my garage.  Seems like I have seen it somewhere or even used/replaced it but I cannot remember when or where.  Even if it's used, it looks too new to be from one of my 2002's.  From my 2002 Z3 M Coupe, maybe?

Thanks.

Looks like a bit of a linkage,  threaded rod into a clevis pin.

There's something kinda similar on pg 35-3 of the parts book, P/N 35 21 1 110  923, described as a "fork head." It's part of the brake linkage that is fastened to the lower end of the brake pedal (the fork) and screws into the rod that runs to the booster linkage.  However, the drawing shows the body as square rather than round, so this may be a replacement to the original part--or something else altogether.  Or not even a 2002 part, but fell into your parts bin by mistake.

The plastic insulation which surrounds the threaded part suggests the part might have an electrical function.

I would guess vibration isolation is more likely than electrical isolation.

Looks like a fork/support for stabilizer link but not (oe) from Z3.

That's a brake- panic inducer from a Chrysler.

 

It goes between the brake pedal and the main cylinder and,

when you step on it hard, it snaps forward, giving the driver

the sensation of having lost all brakes.

 

Chrysler went through some hard times, and took it out on the

braking department in particular, so this is how they got even.

...and I thought it was useless.  Silly me. 

 

Thanks, Toby, for filling those always-bothersome empty holes in my life's resume and armamentarium of automotive knowledge.  Now, I think I can finally be somebody. 

 

IOU.
