rear swaybar body mount

[fretburnr]

I blew out the driver's side rear sway mount on Tuesday... the metal part including the threaded section tore right out. I'm using ST bars with trailing arm reinforcements... didn't think twice about a body mount reinforcement.

I searched around and couldn't find anything specific - what can be done to repair it? can it be ground down and a new plate welded in?

Will a thicker replacement plate do the trick, or are the IE Billet mounts recommended?

i have to get this taken care of soon, just got the car all dialed in too

Thanks!

When tracking or auto-xing its bound to happen sooner or later .
Aftermarket bars just speed it up .

Weld it up then use THESE .

are those tms ones any better than IEs? i presume by looks that they both bolt to the OE mount and thru the trunk floor?

looks like it's time to take the tar outta the trunk anyways.

I just installed the IE ones, and they look like they would do the same as the Turner ones.

Then again, I also think a 1-1/2" wide chunk of 4" angle iron welded in there, and a longer lower bolt and doing a through bolt up top would do just as good, same bolting design for the trunkpan.

IE design sort of sucks where you are bolting into the aluminum for one of the trunk bolts, but the one thing they include I like better than Turner is a piece of 1/8" flat stock 3-4" long to put in the trunk, a big washer to spread the force.

Or you save ~$125 and do it the homebrew way, since like you say you already will have a welder out to fix damages.
