Default Unknown wires - RESOLVED

Hello fellows,
anyone who can tell me if these two wires are supposed to be fixed to the bolt behind them ( wich must be a ground point)

Here are those two loose wires I found,
what are they for?? Ground point??

No idea what they are for but to start you should get a test light and see if they are ground wires. If they are you can put a bolt through that hole next to them and ground them out.

Definitely grounds. But they don't bolt into that hole. They bolt directly into the frame. Look for a missing bolt somewhere in the frame there.

No check engine light or drivability issues?

These two wires seems to be attached to a bolt( wich has broked/ rusted off) to the frame.
Is it possible to fix them to the nearby bracket wich has a hole ( on the photo)? There is also a torx bolt underneat wich also goes in to the frame. Wich is best?

No issues with the car, drives normaly. Could be because those two wires was in contact with the broken ground ancor?
This was discovered when I was putting the winter wheels on😅

Updating and concluding the tread:
It seems that the above mention ground point might have been out of order for a while. I guess they have relocated the wires some other place in the past as there was no issues when driving the car. But, just in case, I made an bracket and fasten the wires to it wich is in connection to the frame.

Thanks again for quick replies to my question. This is a great forum👍🏻😎
