Ratting noise comming from blower

Came home today and heard a rattling noise comming the the blower. I pulled the blower off and I beleive I found the problem but I need some more info.
Between the cage and the motor there was a black ring that was just rattling around. There is also ( Looks the same ) ring on the back of the motor. I personally see no purpose at all for the ring on the back of the motor or the front between the sq. cage and motor. It almost looks like if you push the sq. cage up to the motor it will do nothing but rub on this ring and get hot and who know what else. I've taken some picture to help show you exactly what I'm talking about here, and hopefully you can give me some insight.
