Rear sway bar mount broke off subframe

OK so it appears the spot welded mount actually broke off the subframe for the rear sway bar.
2 questions

1)Can I get a new mount fabbed and welded?
will this be a reasonable solution vs replacing the subframe
2) are the endlinks to the mount still going to be good?

Looks like the fabbing and welding is 2-300 a new subframe with mount is 1700. that the fab route is reasonable

just re-weld the mount.

the 24mm RSB did it.
when going over bumps, both back wheels need to go over at the same time. if not, you're going to stress one side more than the other.

Just have the mount rewelded. I bet even an exhaust shop could tack weld it back on for you for next to nothing.

The mount itself broke in half. Looks like I am going to have to get one fabbed and welded.

Thats too much work bro. Go out there, lift the car, take wheel off, rsb, and finally try and cut the mount off the frame? Nah. Go to and auto body shop and ask them what you should do. These mounts break when you get in accidents.
