Rear anti-roll bar bracket broken

[Paul430]

One side has snapped completely and the other side is showing signs of cracking.

Does anybody make a new one that I can get welded in place?

If one has gone the other will not last for long welding rusting stressed metal not to be recommended ,new ones cost about £70/80 each and have shoulders which strenghten the lower wishbone at the point the roll bar is fixed,easy enough to take off 4 nuts and bolts,renew the lower bush at the same time forget what these cost but not expensive Each side should take a couple of hrs.You will need axle stands strategically positioned. Don't forget to have the rear camber reset professionally.

which bracket are we talking about?? - the outboard one to which the end of the arb is connected by the drop link and forms part of the rear wishbone,
or -
the inboard one which secures the arb to the chassis rail and carries the D shaped arb bush?

The rear camber only becomes an issue as in the first example, if the rear wishbones are replaced.
The inboard brackets and bushes would take about 10 mins each to replace (assuming no seized nuts etc) and would probably only cost a few quid each.

Unfortunately it's the outer ones.

Is £70/£80 for the complete wishbone arm? If it is, then it's not as bad as I was expecting.
