It was making a rattling noise as the pokey bits on the top made contact with the tire (while turning sharply to the right)

I'm confident I could call the "pokey bits" that can spin in place some kind of rivet, that would have attached this to some other thin material like sheet metal or plastic. What it attached to is missing, so the rivets are loose.
