its on the back (looking at the hub) and stops the sway bar linkage from being to mount up with the suspension, any ideas, what it could be used for

or can i just bend it out of the way?

it isnt for the brake line.

Looks a whole lot like a bracket for mounting a brake hose or ABS sensor wiring to

yeah abs or brake line etc
rather than a make a separate shock for each variation, they just put it all on every shock
though if its interfering with the sway bar link it would suggest that its not made for you car

theres actually another one (exactly the same) directly above that one, just above the swaybar link bracket.

After relooking and reading whats now been posted i get what the questoin is, i was answering based on what the finger apeared to be touching, Not reconising it was in reference to the bracket coming off the shock with a hole and a more eliptical hole on it.

pyro_sniper2002 - I read his question and still answered that appropriatly.

He didnt rule out no one could put him on and suggest a toyspeed banner as apposed to a generic banner from a store, i dont know if theres stock of said banners etc but it was still a direction to the best source of information in short.

Support toyspeed!!!
