REAR SUSPENSION CHASSIS BUMP STOP
I found it in the front when I removed the under-engine splash shield. But that sounds right... suspension bump stop... what I thought.
Without more info
Suspension snubbers or bump stops are typically conical in shape.
Being you found it in the engine compartment. My guess is it is the rubber portion of the motor mount that has detached from the metal part.
They vary by model year and engine, so they may not look like the one pictured.
I am going to disagree.

My very first thought was a motor mount. But how did it detach without tearing?

What he never reverses?!
Motor mount is easy, put it in gear hold the brake and blip the engine.
If it twerks like a Florida stripper on Friday night….it’s the mount.

And no, I don't have one.
Bump stop. I didn't see it on Alpa's diagram. It may have been enclosed in some kind of rectangular "cage" attached to the frame. It almost looks like one for a solid rear axle. Maybe it bounced in from the road?
That's a possibility I had not considered!
The tranny is leaking. So I've got to take it in anyway. I'll have them look for that, too.

He's been gone to the Corps for only a little while, and you've got random parts falling out of his car, and a transmission leak.
I'd hate to be you when he gets home....

OH! I have an idea!
Paint "Lincoln Rules" on it, like Spicolli did in Fast Times at Rigemont High.

When you out yourself as a geezer referencing a 40 year old movie.
I'm right there with ya bro!
The bond between rubber and metal failed. They tear when the bond holds.
Be curious to learn what it ends up being.
On a V8, you have one mount in compression and the other in extension under load. Typically, the driver side mount is the one that fails as the forces are trying to tear it apart. Not sure about FWD vehicle. As Alpa Chino says, have someone put a load on the drive train while holding the brakes. If the mount is broken, engine movement will be obvious.

Looks kind of like a body mount. I'm just guessing.are there any numbers on the non angled side?

Interesting problem. Can't be a bump-stop, Kia's are round and wrapped around the shaft of the strut cartridge. Looks too small to be the elastomer out of an engine mount.
Looks more like one of the rubbers on the body. Just curious, but was the car imported or assembled in North America? (I'm thinking it might be just a rubber spacer that got left behind when protective wrapping was removed post-shipment.)
