I hate extra parts, any guesses to what this is???

I'll go with Bob on this one, that it's a ferrule clip. I've got a couple that just won't stay on and there is always that " oh ****" moment when I see it just before the vacuum sucks it up.

Thank you all for the great suggestions and laughs. i will check all the suggested places and post back to this thread. I think it is to dainty to have anything to do with the u joints. I am liking that side curtain ferrule guess!
Yes, Rick I marked everything before doing the pinion seal job.

OK, just check all the locations, and the winner is

It is the same as the side curtain ferrules. Mine are all there, so the old owner must have dropped this one. I will save it as a spare. One of the snap rings had clear RTV all over it. My guess is that it fell off and he could not find it, so he replaced it and RTVed it at the same time. I like that idea and think I will do the same to the remaining 5 snap rings.
Thank you all for the help and humor...Dave
