Default Found bushing

Went to the store in my 2021 F150 XLT SCREW. Found this bushing in the lane when I returned home. It has some black grease on it. Could be from some other vehicle or could be from my 2021 or from my 2017.

Maybe someone will recognize where it goes on the truck if it is mine. I'm too old and fat to crawl around under the truck just hoping to spot something and too cheap to pay the dealer to look.

No recent maintenance other than oil and filter changes and never any sway bar work (thanks AHenry014).

Any help will be appreciated.

Did you replace sway bar bushings on anything recently? Im trying to use your tailgate ruler as scale and that appears to be a sway bushing. They are usually very well captured and dont puke themselves out. Judging by the its incomplete appearance, it looks like someone cut a portion of it off to make it easier to remove. If either of your trucks were replaced recently, perhaps the tech "lost" the old one it your front diff area and it decided to drop out of the truck "in the lane".

No maintenance other than oil and filter changes over the past months and never a sway bar bushing replacement. I'll take a look tomorrow. I'm not even sure it came from one of my trucks.

Yep that's a sway bar bushing. Maybe a visitor lost it off their vehicle.

I think you must be right. I checked both of my trucks this morning and their bushings are intact. Thanks for the identification of the part.
