Im pulling apart a car and found these on top of the shock tower. I dont see them in my parts guide... And never heard of anyone putting braces up top. Thoughts?

Pretty sure those are supposed to go on top of the struts under the shock tower.

Always been there.
Both my 84 Indy and 87 GT have them.

From Factory Service Manual.
I think Part Number is 10031348 - described as Reinforcement, Rear suspension strut

Is it a v6 only thing? I don't recall seeing them on my 2.5... ive only ever had my 87 2.5 pulled this far apart before and im 90% i don't have them.
