Aluminum Bracket

This may have been covered earlier but what is the bracket in the left wheel well for? If it is for the steering what does it do?

Is your arrow pointing at the part in question? Its pointing to the radius arm. ( suspension part )

Are you asking about the bright aluminum piece next to the red shock boot??

My bad, the arrow was from something else. It is the bright aluminum piece next to the shock.

You are talking about the silver bracket. I believe that is the mount for the electronic steering assist.

The photo you sourced is confusing some because of the arrow pointing to the radius arm.

Edit- ofcourse I posted that at the same time you were clarifying lol

That's for the EPAS assist on the 20+ trucks.
