Looks like the bottom bolts rattled out too. I'd burn the entire bracket on (in fact the only reason I haven't done that to mine is because I may change designs in the nearish future).

Loose bolts happened first...then the destroyed bracket.

Mine did the same thing, like three months after install.
RE stepped up and replaced the bracket, I added the brace I should have originally, no problem since. Five years or so.

x421, wheres your brace?
Think about what kinds of action a 4link + panhard see's under heepspeed conditions, then explain to your frame why you didnt install a brace! Those unibody rails probably spread a 1/4" under harsh conditions.
Furthermore, if you dont have a trackbar brace yet, I hope you HAVE re-inforced your unibody allready, or else cracks are all up in yo future...

My Rusty's (from like 2004) did that after a few years. I sent it back to him because he said that he would replace it. He said that it broke like that because the bolts were loose, so he wouldn't warranty it. He wouldn't ship it back until I paid for it. Finally I got it back and just welded it back together myself and added some braces.

Classic example of non fusion, IE cold welds.
