Default Is this the shock bushing?

Today, I went under my truck and I noticed that I'm missing a rubber piece under there.

Is the part a bushing? I looked it up, and the design was totally different than what I have. So I want to make sure.

Could that missing piece be a cause of a rough ride?

They are way too expensive, but you need to put new ones in. Prevents damage if you bottom out. Mine were rotted out also.

What's the price for one?

If that's the case, I'll just grab one from a junk yard haha.

JY ones may be about as bad. Tyr AZ. Think it was like $35 for the pair. (thought is should be $8 a pair...but that's just me...it's just a chunk of rubber)

Those are pretty much universal. Cut to fit length. Dealer wanted like $80 for the set.
