Default Need ideas for 2x broken lower rear sway bar mount

92 lude 200K+ miles. Currently has illumina series struts springs and 17" shoes.

I installed ST front and rear sway bars 2 years + ago. Driver side mount ripped out. Purchases progressive sway bar mounts ($40) new from progressive. Remounted, threaded extra bolt in for more security, and it was welded

That ripped out. I am looking for ideas to keep this thing from ripping out. The overall damage has ruined the OEM threaded holes. Anyone had to do massive recontrauction for a situation like this before?



I hate that I can't prove my car is meant for curves anymore .

I do not have pic's. I already sanded everything down again and removed the welds off the new mounts. I sanded the area to bear metal before I brought it to them and they did a pretty roll of pennies (arc weld ??) around the outside of the new mount and the subframe.

When it ripped out it was all one chunk that ripped outta the subframe. The mount still had the welds all the way around. I guess I have a weak subframe. So now I am left with a hole and no thread bolt holes to mount anything.
