Don't even think of having that adjuster rewelded.
Buy a new set & reinstall.
Do not tighten the rubber pads up against the bottom side of the spring. Leave around a 1/2 turn away from being tight.
Good luck.

Zip products, if I'm not mistaken sells the front aftermarket adjusters seperately.

Not sure who's that one is, it is a Delrin pad though. My bolts are the stock size and that one looks a little smaller.

I think you can buy C6 bolts for just the front. They are the same.
