Default Broken sway bar mount
I have no idea how this happened. Has anyone else seen this? Basically, the sway bar on the passenger side of the front axle pulled itself out of the mount.

I repaired it by hammering the bracket back in shape and welding washers on both sides

What brand links? I would guess that the problem wasn't the link, it was the factory bracket.

Afterthought: are your links adjustable? And are they the right length?

There is no way that is a factory bracket, that's a relocation bracket which appears to relocate the trackbar, stabilizer shock and the sway bar mount.
