Ok so I know Im being a dramatic but my car started to rattle today. I was in denial that this car was turning 8 and that problems will start coming up more and more but I had to get to the bottom of this annoying *** noise.

Basically in the engine bay on the left hand side right under the washer fluid compartment there is a little depression that is held by some screw with a hook at the end of it and a black bracket that attaches somewhere that has this curved hook attached to both sides. I found that these fell out from somewhere and were the reason for the annoying noise since it just kept hitting metal every time the car vibrated even a little. Before I take it in to get it checked out since I don't know what its holding up I figured I would see if any of you had any experience with this.

The Bracket and Screw


The place where I found them just chilling

 

Thats the bracket that sits on top of the battery and one of the two side that tie it down....
