2000 excursiom

Hello im new, of course, but im bewildered by the lack of suspension parts available. Like the sway bar spring perch welded to the bottom of the axel. I understand that most people wouldnt tacle that job, but i am more than willing to, rather than buying a junk yard axel and ripping off the whole front end to replace something that is good but only to ruin other parts. Is there anyone else who makes these pats other than autofab? Please let me know. Thank you

Do you have a pic of your issue? Is the issue on the front passenger side? 4x4? I tore that piece off while off roading, but was able to get a welder to fix me up, better than new.

No pics. But its rusted so bad. The sway bar broke off. The onky fix so far is autofab. But there so ridiculous on cost ,its cheaper to buy a junk yard axel

Just clean it up and weld in some new metal. I’m not familiar with autofab. Wouldn’t be the end of the world to drive as is either. Noisy, but ok.
