03 S430 Rubber piece found under engine bay

Found this rubber piece under the engine bay on the passenger side laying on the ground this AM. Anyone know what it is for? Car seems to run like normal... maybe not important?

Perhaps part of the bellows on the right Airmatic strut?

If your car is a 4Matic, perhaps part of a CV-joint boot?

Did not think of that, you might be right. Thanks for the feedback, will check on it today.

I think it’s just a dust shield you can ignore it

I see this the same way, just try to fix it somehow with tape.
