Default Trac bar bracket broke?

What should I do fix it myself or get the dealership to do it?

I'd have a welder repair & reinforce it.

Is that the rear trackbar?

I had my front break. Took it to EVO where they grinded the whole thing off and put on a new, much better track bar bracket from Dynatrac. That's what I'd do instead of trying to repair the existing one.

It looks like my rear is going as well so I'll mostly likely do the same thing, take off the old one entirely and get the EVO one.

Hard to tell from the pictures but it looks like the front is failing. Either way...

Front steering kit with much stronger upgraded trackbar bracket at the axle.

Thanks but it's the front one but I got a friend of mine to weld it back on and he said that he could make a new bracket if it broke again. But here r some pics of it after he fixed it.
