Default Can anyone identify these parts which dropped out my engine bay? :-0

1998 XJ 2.5TD

Hi folks, well..after a brief clattering in the engine bay, whilst driving along, I discovered these parts lying in the road (see attached) they appear to be shim adjusters of some sort. I've got no idea where they came from LOL - tis a mystery, as they obviously fit onto a shaft of some sort - but I can't find anything amiss under/around the truck!

Hope someone can help identify;-) ps the Jeep still runs fine..

Cheers, yep - I did consider that..though I noticed the bolts which hold the cooling fan to the pulley had worked loose: the pattern of the shims seems to match that of the housing - though how on earth these could fall out without the fan falling off lol.

Yeah, you were right in the end
Turns out that the shims are non OEM parts which a previous owner had cobbled together to try and pack out a faulty air con compressor!
