@spressomon Did you fab a bracket or buy something pre made? Any info/pics would be appreciated!
I have the same problem.
My question: can I rebuild the two ends of the bar (bushings etc) but leave it unattached to the frame until I can get the part fabbed up by a friend? Need to take a trip and don't have time to do the whole job....
Thanks

For anyone who is following: I had a hard time finding a shop to do this. My local dealer ran screaming from the job.
My old-school farmer uncle had an incredible rec though: muffler shops. They are used to cutting and welding in tight spaces on the underside of vehicles. Had a real pro do the job in 20 minutes for $30 there.
I recently had this done. My mechanic friend fabbed a metal L-shape piece to replace the part sheared off the frame and had a muffler/weld shop weld it in. Then used new Toyota brackets and bushings on both sides. I’ll try to get a pic and post when it stops raining.Good to know about the Muffler shops. I guess I'm lucky to have a good guy in charge of service at the local Toyota dealer.
So, did you end up using that Tundra bracket? And how is the ride quality after?
I realize I am answering this years later, but just had the same problem with my 2002 LC with 116k miles on it. Westport CT dealer recommended these fellas in Danbury CT and they are doing the whole job for very reasonable and claim they see it all the time and know just what to do! Highly recommend them: Danbury Auto Spring. Home - https://www.danburyautospring.com/'01 New England Cruiser with 125K
Heard some grinding/squealing over slow bumps on my way home from work Friday. First guess was the D bushings - recently did the end links and knew the others were on their way out. Took a peek under this morning and saw cracking - moved into the garage and jacked up for a good look and there it was.
Anyone know a good LC resource in southern CT?
New England rust got to my sway bar mounts. Pretty sure I need new mounts welded on. Is this going to be big $?
