broken support bar bracket? HELP

MS G · 08-23-2013, 02:36 PM

Hi all, I need some suggestions.

I managed to break the weld on the bracket that secures the support bar to the strut assembly on the drivers side front. bmw part number 41147064494. Thanks to the wonderful job TN does fixing the potholes...not

The body shop will replace and weld a new one on, problem is there doesn't seem to be one available in the good ole US and it must be ordered form Germany for a wait of 4-6 weeks.

I don't want to wait that long to have it repaired. So i need some alternative ideas, suggestions etc to get this dang thing fixed. I have a call into a local fabricator to see what he can do.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts to this problem.

Is there any reason you can't weld the original?

Just order an aftermarket 3 way bar from ebay that bolt to the top of the strut tower bolts.
