Where’s this go…?

Did my first round of maintenance items over the weekend.  Oil change, tie rod end and motor mounts.  Being new to this car (80 300sd) after each job I sat it down and took it for a spin.  After I finished the motor mounts I found this rubber conical bushing on the garage floor.  I'm not 100% sure where it came from, is this from the engine damper shocks?6F136ED9-12F1-4507-A67D-6E909831D06B.jpeg

Need a size reference but yes it does look like the buffers that go with the engine vibration dampers.

I second that.  Damper buffer for sure.

Thanks Nathan! That's very helpful, I did a little more poking around today and it looks like the top steel cup is rusted through and the shock is just bouncing around in there.
