    This bolt snapped in the small red circle. Do you recommend just drilling it and putting a bolt and nut, or should I just replace the bolt and bracket. Also can you guys provide the bracket part number. Currently zip-tied the upper part of the bracket to the steering knuckle behind the brake line or whatever hose it is.

    I'd certainly at least try to drill it out. Start really small, work up, and stay centered. You may be able to save that welded nut.

    Or, if you're pressed for time, just grind the nut off and do the bolt/washer/nut you described.

    I drilled out a small hole in it and hammered the bolt that was sticking out from the back a lil after soaking it in wd-40 last night. Got the hole big enough to where i could put a reverse threaded screw in it to take it out. Saved the threads and found the correct bolt by matching the other side of the truck. The reason i was taking it off was because both brackets on each side were rattling. I fixed the passenger side with a simple washer to act as a spacer. but this side snapped unfortunately. Went smoothly but was a tight fit.
