Looks like someone has ripped the brackets apart before. Just use what you have there and reinforce it better than what the previous owner has. Get this and then start some fab work from there. It should take much or be hard at all.

okay, so i have the two angled and the two square flat pieces that are included in that kit, they came with the car, i guess i could fab the other two pieces, do u maybe have a pic of this kit installed?

the 2 angled and flat pieces you have then are for the lowers. The other 2 are for the upper boxes. I do not have a set on my car...

Are those polyurethane bushed control arms?

Binding is the enemy for those brackets.

should be just fine if he is still running a rubber bushing in the axle housing. but from the repair work the previous owner prob had a poly mounts in the housing.. which is a no no. if you plan on going around any corners or over bumps that is..

your brackets are kinda raped huh.. good luck with fixing them

This is a good solution for messed up upper mounts.

Good luck!
