Tree Removal - Day 1

We are getting rid of some trees in the back yard that have the potential of falling into the house and a stand of pines in the front to allow the dogwood trees to grow.

1988 Oldsmobile dangling part - What is it

I started hearing a rattling today as I was driving my beater - a 1989 Oldsmobile Royale 88. (yeah, I put the wrong year in the title above and I can't change it now)

When I got home, I found this thing hanging from underneath the right front part of the engine.

I will call my mechanic on Monday, but if anyone has any idea what this thing is, let me know kirbysloan@gmail.com
