Default Trackbar bracket eggd holes fix

Hey guys ..i have a 05 3500 cummins 4x4 i got it from a buddy that gave up on finding the death wobble and sloppy steering issue with this unit..after changing just about every replaceable moving part with lifetime greasable parts i have come to the conclusion that the trackbar mount on the differential is the culprit..any fix other than replacing whole differential housing..so far i lookd at 3 in scrapyards and all 3 were eggd out like mine ..is there a replacement or relocation bracket to fix issue??
truck has 4 inch lift with correct control arms drop pitman arm and adjustable trackbar for the 4 inch lift .

Your track bar has bushings on both ends, right? Could you just weld a couple fat washers on the bracket, so you have round holes again? Or, put it where you want it, than CRANK that feller down tight.

Its just a bracket welded on the axle housing, no need to replace the whole thing. Find a welder that does vehicle repairs, they can do that pretty effortlessly. I would replace the bushings in the bar if you haven't already.

how would you go about fixing the front side of the wallowed out hole? Would you still be able to weld a plate amd basically repeat the same process?
