It is pretty common for upper arms with very low misalignment levels to damage the upper mounts on the frame. The big issue that is often missed back there is the axle moves side to side as it cycles. If you have joints with high hardness in the isolation bushings like the old Teraflex arms, that sideways movement eventually tears up the mount regardless of how well it is welded.
This picture confuses me. I've only ever seen that odd little mount that no one knows about on the 05-06 TJ frames, but the hard top is 97-02.Got Barnes on the horn and in two days had the replacement on hand.

I see no reason to share the abuse our unscrupulous sellers visit upon us. I simply can not compete with places like Amazon and Rock Auto who are buying parts and then selling them below our cost delivered. Their delivered retail prices are below my cost to buy and pick up in volume. Both of them (and many others of the same ilk) are on the do NOT sell to lists we get weekly and yet, here we are.
Tom's place is stellar and always has been.
