I bought a pretty beat up 2011. Does anyone know what this rusted out part bit is?

I'm not too concerned about the axle or even the control arm box, but definitely curious about this mystery component. Any ideas?

Wow, that is rusted..... It is a vibration dampener. It has a bolt and you can remove it. The idea is that just by increasing the mass, some frequency from the rear axle are blocked and cannot go to the LCA and the chassis.
