I tried to send a photo & was sent back (too large).
Alldatapro refers to bracket in question as a "Carrier".
The base  of each motor mounts bolt to these as well.

Randy, what are you talking about? “Aluminum brackets (sway bar  
pivots from these brackets)“ Huh?

On most C5s, those having a steel upright member and a pressed in  
cartridge wheel bearing, one must use adjustable length control arms  
to adjust camber. Very expensive parts. The bolt on wheel bearing, as  
used on suspensions having the aluminum upright member, is shimmable  
for camber adjustment, although most for-hire wrenches don’t  
understand and wouldn’t consider doing so for liability and stupidity  
reasons.

BFI = BFH
