That looks like someone forgot to replace two bolts after doing subframe work, and the bracket has deformed since it had no fastening points. Did you get work done on subframe recently? It doesn't look like the bolts sheared off, because they're nowhere to be seen. Looks like they were removed and never replaced.
Not only is it cause for concern, that looks almost undriveable as your subframe integrity is compromised, and you know, it's kind of important in your car staying together.
Best case scenario, you'll weld that part and re-mount the subframe. Worst case scenario, is a subframe replacement.
Here's what you're looking at, and what part of the car it belongs to.
...or, you bought a wreck that's been fixed in somebody's backyard.

Thanks a lot !!! . My car has been vibrating like crazy at higher speeds and getting uneven wear. I guess this is the reason. Yes its a wrecked car I bought a yr ago. Not a good deal for me.

"Not a good deal" is a big understatement man. It's borderline unsafe.
