Anyone know what this is? (recliner part?)
This piece of metal fell out of the bottom of a recliner at our house today. Not sure if it's a recliner part or was just something else that someone dropped on the chair.
It's heavy, solid metal, cylindrical with one domed end, with a hole through the center. Looking under the recliner, I can't see any other part that looks like it.
Anyone know? Pics attached, next to measuring tape showing size in inches.

Ima guess that if it’s a part of the recliner it has a twin buried up inside it’s guts. I just tried to fix a balky footrest on my recliner and found that the arms (some truly Rube Goldberg sort of shit) use all kinds of weird fasteners.
Damn, we're in a tight spot!

That's my guess too, but I couldn't find a counterpart looking up inside it.
I'm going to stop by the Lazy Boy store with the part and see what they say. Google says that the reclining mechanical bits have a lifetime warranty - will have to dig around and see if I can find the receipt.

Looks like a bushing from a flux capacitor

Yeah if the chair still works I'd toss that thing in the junk drawer to never be seen again.

It's a muffler bearing. I'm surprised it's not chromed.
Also surprised it was in your recliner...

If there are no threads, I'd suspect a collar that goes as you state over a shaft. If there is no other matching one anywhere on the other side that you can find, I'd check the handle or lever mechanism that you use to raise or lower. Has to be a metal bar or something that is causing the scoring around probably what is the bottom third of it. As to what held it on, C clip or some sort of pin or something you would think or else it will continue to come off with use...

I'm constantly finding hardware on the floor that comes from nowhere i can figure out. So far life goes on as before but one of these days it probably won't.
