Looks like an alignment shim used with later vehicles. Appears to be of relatively recent origin (shiny metal).

Perhaps they didn't know about the upper outer eccentric, didn't have proper wrench, or just didn't want to be bothered with it.

Maybe they had an alignment issue the eccentric couldn't solve.

Found a piece of round steel wire formed into a "U" shape used as shim on LCA of one of my Pats. Removed it and didn't seem to affect handling, but never drove it much. Hoping to get back on the cars if I ever get the estate wrapped up.
