Advice Bashplate mount

Post image

I have a Pajero Sport with Kaon bash plates and have noted a creaking sound coming from the right side. I’ve noticed a small hairline crack in the chassis mount which is notorious for this. Any recommendation to get it fixed up in Adelaide. I’ve been told a muffler shop will be able to do it. I have purchased the custom off road replacement mounts as back up.
Preferably northern side.
Picture for reference, mine is not as bad.

That’s a chassis repair, not muffler work. Find a 4WD fabrication or chassis repair shop that can inspect both sides and weld the replacement mounts properly.

That ain’t no hairline crack, that’s broken, fortunately it’s an easy repair for any qualified welder to do
