    As many as I can fabricate
    I think it's too long for a firewall grommet. Firewall is only half inch or so with the insulation. Maybe a boot for the brake/clutch pedal (if applic) or steering column.....Started to think it was a sway bar bushing but it's not thick enough. I'm out..lmao...

    If this is true, it’s extremely alarming. Probably, a direct covid-19 device.

    It's not a grommet.

    It's a small piece of rubber that's inserted into the brake pedal return spring.

    If it's truly a "brake" related part. I'd confirm it with the dealer to ensure it is not a safety issue ... JMO

    Soooo - some pics from other threads etc after investigating....

    First pic is from a post where a person found a ‘mystery spring’ in their Taco (clearly the brake return spring) and it shows the rubber piece in the spring.

    Second spring is from a Corolla post about a brake return spring, shows the piece (so must be a Toyota thing).

    3rd pic is a pic of a post about the spring, and seeing ‘something in the spring’ - so guessing the are referring to the rubber piece.

    My guess is that it keeps it from making noise. I think there are a few threads about the return springs ‘twanging’.

    Or - it is a flux capacitor and adds 5 HP.

    Definitely one of those 2 things.
