Did this fall off my car ?

[Dodsy]

Found this under the front of the car this afternoon , does it look like something that could have fallen off ?

Could easily be part of one of the kids toys but it does look a bit too functional for that....

I may be wrong, but it looks a bit like one of the exhausts mounts.

Edit: on second glance maybe not. Looks a bit small too!

I've looked through all the bushes online , closes seems to be the undertray mounting bobbin.

Now I just have to work out what the undertray is.....

The undertray is what holds the exhaust on I think. Bolts on underneath the silencer box.

Looks like it to me as I have mine off at the mo,

From the back its about a third of the way down, large rectangular plate with a couple of circular holes in. There are about 4 or 6 bolts holding it on, if a bobbin has come out in one peice a bolt must have gone too.

Should be ok to drive then, i will have to get it up on the ramps on friday for a proper look. At least if the exhaust starts dragging on the ground i will know whats caused it......

Although that was my first thought, it looks too small to be one of the exhaust rubbers.

Well nothing appears to be hanging down, disconnected or loose as far as I can tell with the car on the ground. Hopefully nothing will fall off tomorrow while I am driving around then on Friday I can get it up in the air for a proper look

It looks like a tailgate grommet off a vehicle. This one's off a Volvo and doesn't look too dissimilar

Foot off a washing machine or something like that.. may be a TV stand?... Did you take anything to the tip of late?... It's not been used on a car looking at it... far too clean, not split so not come off wires / pipes... and never been compressed?..

Look on the front wings inside the bonnet either side near the radiator. Should be two rubber bungs - one left, one right side. These are on my car and one fell off last week and looks just like that. Still no idea what they are for other than to plug a bodywork hole.
