Default How do I reinforce track bar axle mount

After checking every bolt, u-joint and torque spec of everything on the front suspension, I am down to oblong track bar axle mount bolt holes which stand between me and curing the death wobble.

The front bolt hole is wider than the rear (see pics) - does that indicate anything regarding wear, alignment, etc... or is that to be expected?

Short of welding a drilled piece of plate or washer over the outside of each hole or relocating the track bar I'm at a loss for a proper fix. Is there a preferred method or one that stands up longer?

Thanks in advance....!

Drill the exact hole size you need in a small piece of 3/16 or 1/4" plate. Use your T/B bolt to clamp it in place, then weld it on.
