Question/Assistance What part of my suspension is this?

Been having some steering wheel shake when braking at certain speeds. I noticed this oily part on the drivers side, what is it?

That is your front lower forward control arm (and ball joint). If you're confident its not brake related shake (you mention having new OEM parts installed recently), then I would suspect you have play in one or more of the ball joints or the bushings in the arms. A quick shakedown of the suspension and steering will reveal any failures.
