3rd Gen Front Shock Mount? Bent and I need help! PLEASE!

I have a 1999 4Runner that I got into an accident with. The other car hit my in the front passenger side and surprisingly didn't do too much damage, but the one thing that got messed up is the front shock pin (I think that's what it is). If that's not the name of it, please let me know. Also, the mount that the UCA connects too is bent. I know it's welded straight to the frame, but I was hoping someone knew of the best way to fix/replace the mount. I'm thinking the best way would be to cut it completely off, find another one from another 3rd Gen and then weld it onto mine. Best ideas I've come up with. I need my truck working as soon as possible for work. If anyone knows or know of anyone else who might, please let me know as soon as possible.

THANKS!!!

 

Why isn't insurance paying for this? You'll need someone with experience to fix this properly. Plus a new alignment, maybe a bunch of other parts. I don't think the damage will be enough to total the rig but will be substantially more than most deductibles. For things like this...in my opinion, it's worth filing a claim. If you're not at fault, the other person's insurance should cover it 100%.

 

If insurance isn't an option (for whatever reason); the best approach would be to cut off the shock tower and weld on a new one. If you're not an experienced welder, I would def seek out a reputable fab shop to handle this task. The main concern being fatigue and possible wallowing around where the UCA bolt goes through the tower. That could cause some issues down the road (if it hasn't yet already).
