Not sure what this bracket is called or otherwise I would have searched. I looked under torsion bar (is this what it is?). Needless to say, I busted it and need to know if I can bolt it together or if I can weld it or if I have to get a new one. Thanks for your help.

I made a new link with some steel for Alvarorb and then bolted it in place. The old link was basically crap when it pulled off. Now that I have a welder, next time he is over, I'll weld it on permanently. That is a suprisingly common failure point-I've personally seen 3. The factroy attachments are not well done-it almost looks like an afterthought, not Toyota's usual elegant engineering solutions.
