Sway bar link bracket.
I can't find the bracket anywhere. Everyone sells the link, and I bought that already. I need to know where to find the bracket. Mine is so rusted, I'd rather not fight it to separate the bracket from the link if I don't have to.
Bracket I need is circled:
Link I already have:

Most people remove the rear swaybar so the bracket isn't in high demand which is why it's discontinued. You may be able to find on in a junk yard.

I'm making a street jeep. I don't know if the stabilizer removal is for rock crawling prowess...

The sway bars just stabilize the vehicles and improve steering. They limit the vehicles in extreme angles/positions.
if you have access to the head of the bolt and the nut, then generally you can at least snap off the head or nut and punch the rest they the opening. Since it is a sway bar then you can still drive to the hardware store for a replacement. Unless you think that the bracket will break, then spray with a penetrant and crack open that retaining bolt. It may just release. If it all goes to hell, then your preferred plan can still be implemented.
Or use a reciprocating saw to cut thru the bushing and bolt in the middle of the bracket.

On the rear they don't do much of anything other than prevent flexing. Mine came without a rear swaybar because it had the up country package.

The mounting holes are a little taller, maybe a half inch, but everything else lines up. I'm ordering a set to see how they fit, and will repurpose them if they do okay.
