Default Quick question! Please help....

What is the small disc looking part attached to the left strut tower (if your standing in front of the car). Its attached to a bracket and hangs just next to it. Its about the size of a silver dollar. I had to relocate ir to inatall a strut tower bar. I moved it down about 4 inches. Thanks for any help!

i believe it is the alarm/chirper... the disc- does it have a plug and wire comming from the bottom from it?? is it above the downpipe? if so this is infact the security buzzer/alarm/chirper... my plug fell out melted on my DP and i took it to the dealer to get fixed and they said it was security buzzer/alarm/chirper

Thats funny. I set my alarm, and the chirp came from the front of the car not the disc. And, yes its just above the down pipe.....

i dont think it is the high pitched sound, (the beep beep when ubnlocking the doors) and i dont think its the horn sound when the alarm is set off.. but they told me it was the chirper..

being that its hanging from that bracket i thought it was a shock sensor..

who says the dealer knows everything tho?? it could be anything
