Update, the brackets aren't welded together, the two parts are pressed together, the side that has the two nuts welded on, the inside of it has like two metal tubes that are presssed into the bottom half of bracket.

Once both parts are apart, I sawed off the two tube things so they go back together. Fitted the powerflex bushes, feels a lot stiffer
