While working on my cars suspension I have ran into the problem where the
passenger side lower wishbone's sway bar bracket, where it connects to the
link, is broken.  the DPO did a poor job of welding a washer onto it as a
fix.  I am trying for a really nice car and this is not what I want so I am
looking for a good cheap wishbone.  More importantly I have checked into a
few of these and it seems this is a common problem as the ones I have found
are broken as well.  Is this a weak link in the suspension?  I imagine that
the easy fix is to cut a piece of metal the same shape and weld it over it
as a reinforcement, but I don't have the resources to cut them.  Has anyone
ever done this, or even had this problem, or is my life totally unique in
this aspect.  Thanks  Patrick Bowen
