What part is this?

Hi, looking for some advice asap please. My van locks automatically when keys are inside. It means if I leave my keys inside and it locks I’m pretty screwed. I have bought a security box to put a spare key inside and have mounted it to the underside of my van. I am not worried that this was a bad place to put it because of this part here. Does this part move. The way it’s attached to my van, it looks pretty stuck in place. You can see the security box in the photo. The bolt is almost touching it

That part will pivot as it is the hanger for the leaf spring so it will move when the suspension compresses and extends but it won’t move enough to knock into your security box

Thank you! I moved it slightly back just in case so should definitely be fine now😊
 
You will get a lot of spray in that area, the security box lock may not survive long. I suggest theta you put the security box inside a 'Really Useful' plastic box with a fastenable lid with a seal. Screw the security box through the plastic box and put some sealer around the screws.
