What is this hose, left side rear inside shock mount?

Please see the attached photo.
While replacing my rear shocks (BTW, what a PITA
) .... I was cleaning up around the upper spring pan mount and noticed the hose pictured below up inside the mount.
Does anyone know:
1) What this hose is?
2) Is it supposed to be lashed up there and not connected to anything?
Before I button it all back up, I just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing the need to reconnect this hose to something.

I started on the project late yesterday, and having never done this before on this car it took me all afternoon to get the LH spring/shock out. By that time and after getting dinner, I was starting to lose the light.
Upon getting it out, it was clear that the lower bushing was well on its way to falling apart, and the upper foam bushing was completely disintegrated. It was metal on metal up there.
So good timing on this answer, as I'll be installing the new LH shock in about an hour.
I'm hopeful that the RH will go more quickly now that I will have figured out most of the gotchas/uncertainties on the LH.
