The left and right IRS rear rubber stops are alike. They simply push onto a 
steel "mushroom" that is welded to the top of a plate where the rubber ends up 
sitting. If your mushroom is still there, then you're all set for a 
replacement, but the mushrooms often rust off. I don't know if rust is a probem 
in Israel, however. I doubt it. I'll have to check to see if I have a spare 
bump stop here.

I'd be worried until I could pin it down. It could be almost anything, from 
something kicked up from the road that meant nothing, to a cracked brake drum, 
but if everything still seems fine and you can't repeat it or find anything 
broken, then that, at least, is something of a relief.
