What is this piece? It is a rubber cone, about 3 inches high, and maybe 2 inches wide at the bottom. Underneath, it looks like there was a plate of metal with a hole in it (just through the metal, not the rubber) but now it is all rusted and falling apart? Some vital piece? I hope not.

Run through any construction zones? j/k

Sorry, I dunno what it could be.

Wait, I thought about it a bit more, might be a suspension bump stop...

You know, I found one of those once. I still dont know what it is for. One of those extra parts I guess.

You know what they say, "if you don't end up with extra parts, you've done something wrong." I dunno what it could be, sorry.

Sounds like suspension bumpers.

is it cylindrical shaped? can ya take a pic?

i'm not the most knowledgable person on the block, but i have had most (well actually all) of my car apart and can't remember any triangular rubber piece.

I'll take a picture tommorow. Whats a suspension bumper?

Suspension bumper/bump stop is the cone shaped rubber thing mounted on the left and right lower front A-arms. Made to stop a really big bump from damaging the shocks or other suspension components. Never heard of one falling out, though..

They fall out allot, usually on the road where most people don't see them. The bracket rots off them. its pretty common.
