ADDCO Front Anti-Sway Bar fell today

Hey guys, looks like my anti-sway bar fell down today, thankfully not off the vehicle. I'm looking to replace the brackets if I can, does anyone know what type of bracket I can buy and if I could be able to maybe purchase one locally at like home depot? Not sure what I'm looking for only that it was a pain to put the brackets it came with years ago so not exactly looking forward to that, any help would be appreciated.

Home Depot typically doesn't carry automotive parts, Try toyota, or Amazon, I've always put poly bushings on the front stabilizer bar, everything else just didn't hold up.

Thanks for the links. The bushings are actually still on there, it's only the brackets which is why I was hoping maybe home depot might have some sort of pipe fitting I could use.

The link you provided is for the stock bar, I'll keep looking though to see if I can find one that'll fit the addco one, I think they're 1.25 diameter.

Somehow I missed the ADDCO part, unless you edited the title?. In that case you need to ditch the ADDCO bar to frame brackets (sounds like they are a goner anyways) and revert back to the OEM bar to frame brackets somehow, the ADDCO's are just bent steel straps and known to be less than effective, the OEM brackets are stamped, thicker steel with shape for strength. I'm sure energy suspension has a few options for a bushing that will fit both the oversized stabilizer bar and the OEM bar to frame brackets. Personally I'd say the OEM front stabilizer bar is more than effective, after changing the bushings on the front bar and end link to poly, I never had a problem again on either 4R, one of them has had poly bushings on it for 10 years its lifted about 5-6" total and I plow with it.
