a part from my 300 SD?
I was pulling into my driveway this morning and noticed a rubber wedge-shaped object that must have come from my car, which had been on ramps while I did some work underneath. Please see attachment. Can someone tell me what this part is and am I in trouble if it is not where it is supposed to be? I am planning a road trip tomorrow and would rather not have any surprises
 .Thanks!

It does not look like anything I have ever seen on a benz.

Just put it in the trunk and when something goes bump you will be able to fix it!!

Check the bottom of your ramps.
That looks like it could be one of the anti skid pieces from a ramp. Many of the plastic molded ramps for sale these days have those.

I believe there are rubber dampers on each side of the rear axle. Might take a look.

How big is it? If about 1x3/4" it could be one of the wedges on the back of the grill - I think there are two.
