It seeems that the consensus is to "just fix it" by welding the bracket back
together, preferably with a little extra reinforcing. By the way, I called
every SPAX dealer I could find and found that none of them sells the part.
I am beginning to think "the part" never existed, it was always a welding
job.
So now I have a new question: The plate that forms the bottom of the
bracket is also the base of the spring. Should I support the spring in any
particular way when I remove the four bolts that hold the plate on? Or,
just jack that side of the car up and take it apart? I am concerned that
that plate might be under tension from the spring, but I could be wrong.
Thanks again,
Steve
