So now what? The shock mount is welded in the axle bracket. Looks like I need a torch to cut out the old one, and then a machine shop to make a new one, and then a welder to weld in the new one while keeping it all strong and square.

Is there an easier way? Anyone ever had this kind of touble?

Thanks,

Sock studs and shock brackets are both available.
