Can you get more pictures or even pull it out? (Easy tiger!) :lol:

I've never seen 1 of those and it looks a bit after market where it is placed.
Won't be the first time I'm wrong tho.

I know I've never had 1.

So what is it then? :lol:

That’s the only angle I can take it at. Can’t pull it out. Meant to say that the photo is upside down because it was taken from underneath.

No pod in the cab. I might take the screws out and see what’s inside

On closer inspection, there’s one on both sides. They are mounted directly beneath and inline with the engine mounts. Some sort of enclosed spring to reduce engine vibration is my guess.

I have them also, but mine aren't as clean looking.
Engine mount hydraulic dampers, (not the official name for them, OR IS IT :?: :lol: ) RWD only I'd guess.
