Outer Tie Rod bracket

What is the bracket in the right side of the picture for? The nut/bolt fell off of mine at some point and the bracket rattled loose today - heard it when I hit a bump. I've got it tightened back down in place but honestly I could not for the life of me figure out its purpose, nor do any repair videos mention what it is or if it's important.

Thanks for any info!

I think it's just a back up to keep the adjustment sleeve from turning if it's bolts were to loosen up.

Yes just a back up to keep it from turning. You want it on there.
