Has anyone broken a rear sway bar end link or mount point ? The rear mount location plate has pulled from frame.

YES.......my end link mounting plate cracked on the passenger's side and I had it welded!!:eek:

So far it is holding up OK!!:cool:

I guess to much stress on mount plate over time. Then entering a steep slop driveway at an angle did it in.

Not on my Marauder but it happened on my CVs, I welded it and it has held up for something like 10+ years.

I broke a stock rear end link in my Merc once. It is fairly common on higher-mileage Panthers for the mounting plate that is welded to the frame to crack/break.
