Things falling out of my guitar


Well, just now I was changing strings, cleaning the fretboard, changing spring tension.. just maintenance, and something happened. Something has been loose in there for some time now, I could hear the rattling when I moved the guitar around. So I opened it on the back, and these weird...things fell out. Now, I'm not sure what they are, what function they have or where they came from, but I'm pretty sure they belong somewhere.
Does anyone know what to do with those?

That other thing:
This one looks like it's supposed to go where the whammybar is.



Scary.


This is an Ibanez S470. ZR-Tremolo.
(I posted this post back at vai.com, hopefully there are people here that can help me aswell. )

Ah, I just found out. Those small parts are the string clamps. They ones that are down at the bridge. Stupid me, I put them back in place. I still dont know about that other thing. The round one. What does that one do?

Ah, yes I suspected that. Should I just screw it back on then? It seems as it still works without that part, so I'm not sure what function it has. The bar fits nicely in there without it, and I can still adjust the tension on the bar.

I think it's a lame arm height adjuster...if you like it without it just put it somewhere you won't lose it and leave it off it doesn't have to be there

I labeled it 'lame height adjuster' and put it in the drawer
