anyone ever bend a endlink bracket on their coilovers?

Short story basically I am driving down the highway with nothing wrong. i turn into town semi-agresively then end up hearing clunking. pull the wheel off on the driver side to find that the bracket that holds the endlink is bent in and down as it was pulled with some force. any ideas on how to correct this issue?

setup is:
bc coilovers, eibach 29mm sway bar, subframe brace...

I wonder if the eibach bar is to much for the brackets to handle?? should i cut the old bracket off and weld on soomething stronger? or am i the first to have this issue...

It seems as this is a problem many coilovers are experiencing, I know that when I was going through the development stages of the JBP coilovers I broke a few, that's why in the end of the day we changed over from aluminum body to an All steel body.

no issues or even crack forming.

but they do get but through some crazy forces, how much was unforeseen.
basically it's a faulty design, tray to get a replacement body, the weld a couple of small gussets on the outside to help strengthen it.
or
drive without it, as a daily driver I didn't notice to much difference, but with spirited driving and handling it makes a difference.

thats we changed the design to a beefy all steel design
