Not too sure which part you're referring to, the lower bracket is for your lower control arm, the bracket just below the fender holds it to the body I think?

Yes it connects to the front axle. There's 2 lower control arms. There should also be 2 more upper control arms that also mount the top of the axle. One right above the diff.
