Default Source for Stabilizer Bar Bracket - Discontinued

I did a quick search and couldn't find anything about this in the forum so if I missed something, please point me in the right direction.

replaced the leaf springs on my '93 XJ and when replacing the stabilizer bar bushings, the sway bar link snapped from rust.

Got a new link but it needs to go on the bracket and said rust has fused the bolt to the bracket.

Searching for a new bracket part number 52006450 (#9 on this diagram) I find they are discontinued. The few places that list them have them for $140. that isn't happening.

Has anyone else dealt with this/found a source?

Thanks in advance.

Most here eliminate the rear the rear bar completely. Some XJ's even came from the factory w/o them. Front one is a different issue completely.

It handles better. Ditch the sway bar.
