Depending on who you ask,, it’s called the Right Support Arm, Right Lower Suspension housing, or just Right Axle Arm..
Changing it out requires some larger tools and torque for pivot attachments, spindle joint nuts, spring u bolts etc. And requires the hub, rotor/brake assembly to be removed as well as the spindle itself. Not to bad to do as long as the tools are available. If your Chitons falls short i can send you some illustrations, and I’ve done them many times. Looks like it may have been apart or at least the axle boot has a zip tie instead of the OE band clamp..
