so i have a 2003 nissan xterra. recently i noticed a rattling, clinking sound. looked under the center of the truck and saw the attached pics. you'll see whatever that braided metal piece is, with the pipe on the right going into the engine, and the pipe on the left going to the muffler. the rattling sound i was hearing was those two rings you'll see dangling. i can't tell if they were holding a cover or something for that braided piece on (which if there was one, is obviously gone now), or if they were supposed to be affixed to either side of that part. i'm going to take it in for service this week, but i always like to get a second opinion in case they tell me its the end of the world and my car is going to explode if i don't give them $1,000 to fix it.
anyone know what we're looking at here please? :cheer:
