SL/R129: Help With Identifying Unknown Part!
This afternoon after returning home, I noticed this part on the ground underneath where I usually park my SL. I’ve been puzzled as aside from some very slight steering differences (which I very well could be hallucinating in my attempt to notice tiny changes, as I frequently do) I haven’t felt anything odd with the car today. I daily drive it so I’d like to think I have a pretty good idea how things feel day-to-day. It’s clearly sheared off on one end, meaning whatever other piece of it has the part number. Any help pointing me in the right direction would be very much appreciated!
Edit: car is a ‘98 SL500 with 104k miles. forgot to specify that, in case it helps

Based on where I found it, I’d have had no idea to look there. Much appreciated
