Its the wire thats hooked to the P/S bracket in that pic.

Just a wire, that runs to the body to ground the engine. Probably works just as good where it is now.

No. Its a GROUND. think of the whole engine as a wire, you can ground it to ANY part of the engine, and it will all be grounded the same. Same as the body, its equal to the negative terminal on the battery. If you look, you will see that cable just connects straight to the body.

i know its a GROUND thats why its called a ground wire, i was concerned about it because ive seen cars with rubber inbetween the bolts that hold the power steering to the engine, therefore breaking the circut, ITS MY CAR I DONT WANT TO **** SOMETHING UP.

Just because you don't know basic electronics don't mean you have to jump ugly on me.
