Default broken torque arm bracket

i was under my car today and saw that my torque arm bushing is cracked, how big of a deal is this? and how hard would it be to install a new one?

So is the bracket or the bushing cracked?

The rubber bushing comes in two pieces, and it sucks, so who cares if it cracks. The bracket is real simple to replace with the stock rubber bushing, more of a pain with a poly bushing. If you have a friend who can man a crow bar, then it will be pretty simple....doing it all by yourself is a little of a challenge.

Are you sure its cracked? Because it is a 2 piece bushing and when I first got a look at it during my T/A install I thought it was ripped and cracked too, but it was in good shape.

Anyways if you want a replacement bushing, pretty sure you can find either an Energy Suspension or Prothane replacement bushing. I believe Thunder carries the prothane.
