    That looks like one of the cotter pins to one of the front end bolts. Not sure which one.

      If it is, it isn't OEM, but check the tie rod nut and anti sway bar nuts for cotter pins.

      Something for scale in the pic would help determine possible origins.

          that's not from your car... the only clips like that would be from the fron brake slide pins via an aftermarket kit and they're about 3/4" long

              Looks like the size from a receiver hitch pin. Don't tailgate any trailers!

                i doubt it was a trailer related being that it is double the length of a quarter...

                        That was my first thought too, looks just like one but I've never seen one that long.
