What year is it? Did this fall inside? Driver side or passenger?

Hi,I have a Cherokee 1999,sport,2W,XJ.I really don´t know where it fell from. I just heard the noise and since I just had the radiator and the transmission service I suppose it could be from those services.The issue is that these services were done in another city so it is not very easy just to go and ask the shop people if they recognize this part.

To repeat an earlier question;
1) when you found it was it inside the vehicle on the floor or outside the vehicle on the street?
2) is it metal or plastic?
3) how long is it?

If it was inside on the floor and plastic I'm thinking hvac linkage but need to know the answers to the above questions please.

So this is a first.
A Google image search actually found something that I was looking for. LOL.
So I am going with it is not part of the Jeep.

If you scroll down at the second link it is being sold by an appliance parts company.
Seems to fit something made by a company called Zero Zone.
Which appears to make coolers, freezers, and the like.

I'm guessing here.

You ran over it on the road and it bounced around causing the sounds you heard. Then you went and looked on the road and there it was

Hi,no this part was not inside the vehicle,I heard the part falling on the street,so I stopped and searched and found this part.it probably has something to do with the radiator since it was serviced 2 days ago.Any suggestions?.I´m afraid it could be a crucial part and maybe I will find myself with major damage because of this issue.
best regards
