ok i plan on doing so but i csnt even find the replacement mount for a 97 600 xc so unless you can link it to me? I can not seem to find it any were and im also not really sire about the install procedure because there is already a whole from the mount pushing through the belly pan so could i just cut the whole a little bigger and put the mount in?

I wouldn’t do it. Before I did. That I would take it out straighten it all up cut that piece out and weld a new bar In there. tapped or drilled appropriately. My best advice is fine a used one or structurally repair the one you have. I can never advise anybody to “rig” any part of the sled that may effect thier control of it. I never cheat on front end /steering / etc. - try a sled salvage yard. Like HUdons In barneveld ny. There are lots of others also. Do you know anybody or a dealer etc that has the same type of chassis laying out in the weeds for a different reason ? 315 896-4357. HUdons sled salvage. Another one is ASS. Adirondack sled salvage. Lyons falls ny. I think

What year sled is this? first of all did you get it fixed? dont put jb weld on it you will not be able to weld it afterward. dont use grade 8 bolts on sleds they are to hard, and hard to remove/drill. this is the part that is attached to the tunnel? the trailing arm bolts to it? if so this is a through bolt? yes/no. steel? some are alum.
