Actually, there's no evidence that the break occurred due to impact. I haven't hit a pot hole beyond the usual small ones I've been driving over for years on my daily commute and certainly no side impact. My only guess is that the upper bolt somehow backed out, leaving alot of play and that when I was turning to back into a streetside parking spot the bracket shifted hard and snapped the mount off. I don't like that hypothesis since I suspect I would have had drivability issues prior to the break but there had been none.
Luckily for me, Saabnet user RS has kindly volunteered to send me a replacement bracket complete with a new bushing and mounting bolts. I'm turning my attention to disassembly this evening in hopes that I can quickly install the new mount when it arrives. I'll look to see what others have done in order to change the bushing-- should be the same operation.
