What the heck is this?

UPDATE: It's not a sewage plug or an airplane part. It is, we think, a "snubber." This confirmation from a savvy FB friend:

"I crawled under Brownie (our pickup). It's got snubbers like that on the front end, above the front axle. Is the inside of the hole tapped, like so it would screw onto a bolt? The numbers stamped on the side would be the parts number, so the guy at the dealership can look up the part to sell you a new one, when your old one ended up on someone's lawn."

I found this object in my front yard recently. It's light and made of rubber, like some kind of huge bottle stopper. I have no idea where it came from or what it is. The only clue is a small number etched on the side: 210 23G A170.

Any guesses?
