New rear sway bar mounts needed
 
Besides new rear Pelican Parts HD sway mounts what do I need to replace both sides. I assume griding off the old ones and welding on new but do I also need bushings. Any suggestions for place in Houston to do the work would be appreciated.

I can weld them on if you want to take a trip to Austin. If the bushings are deformed or worn looking, replace them.

I always want to take a trip to Austin. Question is how to get the time. I figured I better replace the bushings. Thanks for the offer.

I purchased my car with the passenger side welded. The driver's side broke and I had it replaced (Pelican part and installed by my trusted bodyshop genius). I replaced the mount since I've read that the weld will eventually break. I think that you are in the same boat as I am: my time is worth more than the $50 extra to replace the mount.
Note: be sure to get the updated mount (like the one Pelican sells)

I made my own mounts, 1/4" thick structural steel, with some creative cutting and grinding to correct shape. Then mig welded them in place. I don't think they will break again. Even the new replacement udated mounts are very thin stamped sheet metal.
