While installing new upper control arm bushings in the axle, I was getting pissed at my jeep for not playing nice and forgot to put something in the mount to keep it from collapsing. So what do I do now? The bracket is squished together pretty good. I posted this question on CherokeeForum and just was told to bend it back open and plate it. Is that my best option or should I get a strong mount and replace the stock one?

I finally found a mount by Under Cover Fab

What do you guys think would be my best option?

Get some 10ga plate and tie the two front edges together to mimick the folded rear and call it done. There isn't a tremendous load on that UCA mount (thus the wimpy looking factory design).
