Default Track Bar Mounting Bracket

I am in the assembly phase of my lift project and I have noticed that the hole for the bolt on the passenger side of the track bar mounting bracket is a little bit oblong. I had some minor death wobble on this vehicle before this project began and I have uncovered numerous candidates that could have been contributing factors. I was curious if this was a big concern or if anyone had any genius fixes for such a thing. Thanks.

Very common problem, easy fix.

Weld a piece of steel (3/16" with the appropriate size hole in it over the bracket.

new bracket.

upgrade to a trackbar that uses larger bolts.

weld a thick washer, or some plate steel with the right size hole to the outside of the bracket (wont help you much if the inner hole is oblong too)

I don't have pics right now because I am at work. More or less, that was what I came up with. Weld a piece of steel with a new hole in it, or upgrade bolt sizes. Thanks. I will see what I can work out.
