Gerry: thanks. Replacing the whole arm may be what I have to do; although I'd not be looking forward to that.

Dave: I have not been able to find previous posts on replacing the stud itself; although a lot of good info on the Watts bushings themselves. Regarding welding, I was referring to the observation that the stud looks to be welded to the bracket on the rear support arm. If that is the case, I would need to pull the arm out to take it somewhere to cut out the existing, broken stud and have a new one welded in. (I did not mean to try to weld the broken stud back together).

Wondering how much better (ride/life) Dwight's urethane bushings would be from Kanter's polyurethane ones?
