Stabilizers Bent

On a recent trip I ran over a curb and bent both stabilizers on my 1993 Sovereign. I understand that the originals are no longer available. Does anyone have any suggestions for replacement?

A little more information is needed.

Can you take it apart?

On my 2014 Flying Cloud the stabilizer can be disassembled and the arms can be replaced or straightened. Maybe yours can as well.

A good welding or blacksmith shop can straighten the pieces for you.

No idea what they look like, can you post a picture? Like Jim says, a welder or blacksmith can probably repair them. I removed mine and repainted them and there was some minor straightening in a bench vise. They aren't supports, just stabilizers so they don't bear much weight.

I welded two of these on the rear frame of our first AS, a '63 22' Safari. (it came with two jack stand style)
Just select the one that works best.

Stabilizers Bent

Thanks to everyone for your replies. I took both stabilizers to a machine shop. They said they could straighten them.

earlwalker re stabilizer jack

I just purchased one for my '77 Sovereign at an Airstream dealer. Jack is made by Bal. It cost me $75.00. It's cheaper than getting it fixed.

The machine shop straightened both stabilizers for only $113.00 and they work perfectly.
