Default im envisioning the car on jackstands on the rear subframe points.
with no bar. the body should flex to its neutral position. then weld...and reinstall the bar. you may need an alignment afterwards.

i'd be interested in hearing what will thinks.

Default Will smill, thanks for the advice
the suspension is new, and I haven't had an alignment in a long long time. So the idea is to get welded, fix my broken strut cap, get aligned. All by next weekend.

Wow. So it's safe to say your car was too low? ;-)
