Found this in the woods near an old foundation. It is pretty heavy. I can't see any markings.



Thanks!!!

Looks like an old shock absorber. A rubber bushing would have gone in the loop.

How long is it? Four inches? Two feet?

Shock absorber, It's upside down. Tony

it looks like a shock absorber that would have a screw mount on the top side and rubber bushing with a bolt going thru it on the bottom. the 2 hole item to the left in the pic looks possibly like the top mount shock tower.
