I find my brackets (that hold the bushings and bars to the chassis) are cracking. I've done some web searches with no luck. Does anyone know if there are any after-market brackets (for the factory bars) available?

If you buy a set of aftermarket bushings they come with brackets. http://www.energysuspension.com/pages/swaybbct.html
I don't know of anyone who sells just the brackets. That would be a dealer or salvage yard item.

Thanks for the reply ... since you're the only one I'll assume this isn't a common failure. These are Energy Suspension pieces. They've been on the car 6 or 7 years ... I guess I got the special "lucky" ones! I'll buy another set. I did the rear bushings at the same time with the ES units and they look to be fine. Shouldn't be corrosion since the car never sees the snow or salted roads. Puzzling.

Mine are the same way. They have them at the dealership and they aren't too much.

I dug through the pile in the back of the garage and found my original pieces. Those brackets are too large for the ES bushings. Looks like Summit sells the ES set for 14.95 so I'll probably get another set next time I order something. I was also thinking of sawing a short piece of the right sized pipe in half lengthwise and then getting tabs welded to them. Should be bullet-proof.
