Default Uh oh.. Sway bar..bracket missing!

I was putting new front shocks on, and I noticed something missing. I guess this would be where the clunk is coming from!



Where would I find a new bracket, and I guess just drill out the bolts that are snapped off in there?

I guess that's a 'sway bar'.. if it isn't, don't be too hard on me.. I have no clue.. I just know something is missing.

You could try this. It appears to come with the bracket.

Yeah, like that link he posted, I've seen little kits like that at Advance and stuff so I'm sure you could just pick one of those up and it would probably work.

that kit looks like its supposed to be sandwiched between the bracket and the frame... doesnt look like its supposed to be standalone considering what the orriginal bracket is

I'll try to see if I can get pics of the other side. Those in the link don't look exactly right.

You could be right; It's hard to tell by the photo. I just pulled up the bushings for a 99 durango. However, that may just be a generic stock photo.
