I have found four white rings under the strainer basket inside the pump housing. They appear to maybe be a bearing race but I'm not sure. They are about 1" across and 1/2 inch thick with a groove on the inside. The pump and selection valve seem to be operating normally but I'm not sure if I should be worried. I have attached 2 pictures. Can anyone tell me what these might be from?

I have a hayward bug. It doesn't have wheels. I thought about this put those parts would have to get through 2 different strainer baskets.
They look to me like they are possibly the outer races for the bearings for the A-Frame in side your Aquabug. Look in this diagram at the A-Frame Kit. Not sure how it got through the pump strainer is that is what it is.
I took it apart and thats definitely what it is. Thak you. I have no idea how the heck those got to where they were though. Thanks again!
