Whatīs that part?

I just removed the bottom engine cover to clean oil spills from a leaking oil filter housing.
A rubber part dropped to the floor.
I honestly have no idea where it came from or where it could be installed.
A year ago i had an indi repaired something on the left axis after an accident.

Might be a rubber bearing? But from where?

Anyone has seen this part before?

Rubber buffer for the air filter box - I think.

Yup. Mine dropped on the floor a while back. Take the filter housing out, it'll fit between the housing and the frame. Never noticed any difference when I put it back .

For sure that is where it's from...there is a little stud on the frame rail that it slips on to. The first time I pulled the airbox, it stuck to the box until it pulled off that stud, then fell out, and ended up exactly where you found yours.

FWIW, I just replaced mine after it got lost (I'm assuming it fell into the underhood shield below the engine and then rolled out onto the road somewhere). I ended up spraying the bottom of the buffer and the frame rail where it mounts (after cleaning the frame rail) with a bit of 3M tacky spray adhesive to help it stay in place.
