Is there a source for the stabilizer bracket that is attached to the lower A arms?

If you're referring to the stabilizer bar LINK BRACKET which is welded to the lower control arm, it was never available from GM as a separate part. I don't know of any reproduction available today although it's possible there is one.
Ken - I see the upper a-arm is reproduced but not the lower as far as I know and since that lower sway bar bracket was welded to the arm, I kinda doubt it might be available separately. What's the story behind your 62 not having the brackets, collision damage, corrosion? The only other choice I see to connect up a lower a-arm that no longer had that bracket would be to use or fabricate a bolt-on angle bracket similar to the one I have on my 56 Nomad for an add-on front sway bar. First pic the stock setup on my 61 Corvette, second pic of the add-on bracket for my Nomad. I think I'd prefer looking around for a used lower a-arm instead of the angle bracket. You'd think there should be stock suspension components for sale from the folks adding the aftermarket front suspensions like Jim Meyer Racing.
The A-arms have the brackets, but the driver's side is broken. I do not know why it broke. I will make sure the links are correct. I will also check to see if the stabilizer bushings are not too tight. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Looking for another front suspension assembly sounds like a good idea.
Thank you, Joe and Mike
If you go looking for a used lower arm for a bracket to use, don't get concerned with left or right. The arms are the same and the only difference is the side that the stabilizer bracket is welded to.
