What is this strap/bar on Aussie K-member?

Aaaaand....nothing.

And nothing on this in the Manual, either.

As "cudamark" pointed out, it's almost like this was intended to be used as a torque strap, since the length and bolt hole seem to be about right (connect it to a motor mount bolt). But it's 10 or 12 gauge metal, and I can't see Chrysler putting a solid connection across the motor mount.

But would they? Did they ever do such a thing here in the States?
