What is this rubber wheel?

I have a fourth gen rearend out of a 93-97 Camaro to go in my third gen. It has PBR calipers and a 11.6" rotor. There is this rubber wheel out of the bottom of the emergency brake area. I dont see this when I look at Ed Millers OEM PBR calipers? Anyone know what this is and does?

Thanks,
kyrenegade

It's a vibration dampener. The 89-92 PBR's weren't so equipped.
