Went to jack up the rear of my car and discovered this part was just free, completely rusted off any idea what it is / purpose? Should I be worried lol

#

Looks like somwthing to the rear differential mount?

#

So looks like it’s the differential dampener

#

Is it important to fix?

Does it look like your diff mounted to it? Or connected to it in some way?

#

My question is, should I be worried

#

Without the dampener? Ive read having it doesn’t make much of a difference

Yea, who knows how long it’s just been sitting there

It's probably been loose for many years and you're still alive so

Discovered this while doing my rotors and pads

#

Also discovered my driver side caliper guide pins were seized, they’re completely frozen

#

So I’ve have 3/4’s breaking power for who knows how long

I would fix this asap for obvious safety reasons. I’m sure that RockAuto has some cheap caliper kits. I only suggest that because the car looks pretty rusted so this may be in bad shape

#

Ultimately though I would do something about the rust. At least slow it down

I hear you. I would at least hit it with a wire brush in some bad spots and coat it with a oil based coating

Something like POR15 or fluid film
