This may be a dumb question but what is this part? I am diagnosing a rubbing driveshaft after putting in my motor mounts ( motor and tranny are offset towards passenger side and badly ) and I noticed this part on my car except its freaking tweeked to almost 45 degrees towards the front of the car. Anybody?

Ahhhhh, the famous 'dog bone'
inspect you motor/trans mounts and the trans cross member for broken pieces
