Does anyone know what this part is? I just got a 2006 Scion tC 5 speed. I got on it a little bit from a stop and as I shifted into second I heard something bounce around under the car and saw it roll to the side of the road in my rearview, I went back and picked it up off the road. Absolutely nothing in the car changed after that, so I have no idea how to go about figuring this out. I took it to an auto parts store and they weren't sure. They said it might be a spacer or something for the exhaust. Its made of metal with a rubber lip sticking out. The only markings are on the front with the green dot and it says "C" and then "1". Anyone know what this could be?

It's an external engine mounting damper.

Not sure what it really does or how it's supposed to work, but here's a link to an exploded view if you're curious.

DAMPER, ENGINE MOUNTING

It's part number 12351.
