Default Where to get front sway bar mount?

I need to replace the front sway bar mount on my Camaro. When I put the motor back in I noticed the front passenger side mount is broke. Im talking about the mount that holds the bar to the frame of the car. Where can I buy this piece?

The aftermarket makes beefier stuff, maybe check our susp sponsors before the dealer.

UMI makes their billet sway bar brackets, but they're something like $90 a pair. Sort of steep if you're just looking for an OEM replacement...

Its has a 35mm sway bar up front so maybe that helped break the stock mount? I think I will get some aftermarket ones.

So you happen to have a link Element?

I wouldn't mind a pair myself, but the price is just a bit too steep.

Don't the Energy Suspension sway bar bushings come with the "mounting strap"? They used to.....



EDIT>>>>>

P/N 95168 or 95173, depending on the "spread" of the mounting bolt holes

Ah ha. I had assumed you needed the "strap" since you were talking about the part that held the sway bar to the frame.

For those, you may have to go the junkyard route (unless you spring for the ones liberty posted - honestly, not too expensive if junkyard f-bodies are hard to find, like around my area).

I snapped both of mine as well. I bought a set from GM and reinforced them like the Blaine ones. It has been about 10k miles with no issues now.

Is it the same part number for both the passenger and driver side?
