this is on a 1975 450SL:

Hello again,

no problems with this part, which serves as some kind of engine support from what I can tell...would just like to know it's name and function. There's one on each side of the engine.

it's the black rubber tube, capped by a silver color cap with a nut holding the whole thing together, immediately to the left of the two pink rubber hoses. The bottom portion is anchored to the wall of the engine compartment.

thanks in advance

It is an "Engine Vibration Absorber".

I guess the name pretty well describes the function as well.
