Angry Bracket Help!

I need a little help! I had a "clunk" in the back of my car and assumed it was a loose torque arm. Upon inspection I noticed that the shock brackets that are welded to the rearend are cracked. They look aftermarket/cheap, and would probably be better replacing than fixing. Does anyone know where to pick them up at? I have tubular control arms and the bracket looks to be modified to accept them.

Hmm are you talking about lower control arm relocation brackets?

Thumbs up

That's the one's! However the one's I have actually have a collar that bolt around the axle shafts. I have boxed control arms and tubular lca's and the brackets just fell apart. Seems like I'm fixing someone else's abuse. The prior owner did most of the work engine/susp. and sprayed the car w/out a tune. I ended up welding the brackets and my shock mounts. Thanks for your help!
