Maybe the shocks if they are made of rubber? They might be too thick for that though.    :clueless:

They look a little too thick for what I'm going to suggest, but it is what came to mind when I saw them. Front fender shims? :dunno:

They look like fan bolt washers or steering pump / alternator spacers to me. I could be wrong.... :dunno:  :drunk:

Are they steel or plastic? They look like they have some rust on them? Seat spacers ( which was my first thought) are plastic not metal, at least on my car they were?

they are steel.  Could be seat spacers.. still cant remember where they came from.  If they are seat spacers, what were they used for? Are they neccessary to get the seat leveled, or for some extra tilt?

They are the front fender spacers that mount the lower fender to the rocker at the rear of the wheel opening by the door. Run on sentence... I know.

 :thinkerg:  I think you`re right...  I think I remember them falling out when I took the fenders off..... no clue how they ended up in the box I found them in.  The fenders however, fit great without them, so I`ll call it my high performance application, for not using them and saving weight  :bigsmile:  :burnout:
thanks for the input guys  :2thumbs:  amazing knowledge around here

Yeap, don't underestimate Tod! But the grammer...  :bricks1:   :smilielol:

I had to use one 5/16" and three 1/4" spacers down there. Talk about quality control!  :eek7:

Jim,
  If my college English Professor saw that sentence, he would have me graph it, break down the participial phrases, and rewrite it into at least three sentences.  I'm glad it's laid back here. 

To give credit where credit is due; others also mentioned fender washers/spacers.  I have parted 21 Challengers over the last ten years.  When the cars were parted they were not restorable.  I photographed and kept everything from the cars.  That is how I know where every nut, bolt, screw, clip, and washer goes.  Looking back on it, I probably could have spent my time in wiser ways.
