Found this in the driveway. What is it? Looks like a bumper for the suspension or something. Real heavy

Counter weight on exhaust near the catalytic converter, Lexmex and I both took it off our RXs because they do nothing but add dead weight to the car.

Thanks! You guys are awesome. I was ready to pull the wheels off to see what was missing.

That thing could kill someone if it took a bounce on the highway.

That thing can rust itself off as I remember it having a lot of rust on it before I threw mine in the garbage a few years back.

There is also another weight on the driver's side near the rear that is saucer shaped, kind of like an upside down flower pot.
