Bad rattle, what is this?

Something not working right?

Driving around yesterday I started to hear a bad rattle/grind coming from the rear. I looked closer and could hear it from both sides.

After I got under it, everything looked fine except for this loose thing above my spare tire. Hopefully you can tell me what it is, and/or how to fix issue. Thanks.

Your pic is just showing the heat shield for the spare. Drop the tire and tighten it up if its loose.

Ace of Springs......not mechanically inclined? :scratch:
That would be kind of like me (Navigator) not having a good sense of direction?
