You could probably weld it, but it is delaying the inevitable. These sway bars are hollow and sadly rot from the inside out most of the time.

Get a solid one to make sure this don't happen again. And its not a pain as much. I think putting the new one in is the most annoying

get a new one, they are solid and don't cost very much, I suggest getting poly end link bushings too. it was a pain in the *** to install but well worth it!!
