I'm diagnosing a clicking, and I know very little about engines. The car is actually a Jeep Wrangler Sport, Inline (Straight)-6 engine.

Problem: I don't know what the part is called in the attached image, and I'm not sure how to google it.

It's making a click that I can hear and feel at about 6hz

Also: how would I go about finding part labels/names in the future? Other than posting on a forum, I don't know how to get a listing of every part with a diagram to peruse. Thanks!!

edit: It would be cool to find pictures like this for each section of an engine, but I don't know where they exist. http://www.quadratec.com/sites/default/files/knowledge_based_articles/tjsteering(1).jpg

edit: I realize I probably posted this in the wrong category (it probably belongs in general discussion), but I cannot find how to move the thread. My apologies.
