What is the mounting bracket that you are missing? The hitch should bolt straight onto the frame.

The hitch I mounted on my car was made by Curt and they did not have any additional mounting brackets. Unfortunately I have not seen an OE hitch either so I can't help there, <s>but comparing the two hitches together, I put bolts through the top flat portion with three holes on each side.</s>

I have a PDF file that might can help you. PM me your email and I'll send it over to you.

Correction: You're right. The Curt hitch was mounted only from the bottom of the frame, but it looks as if your hitch mounts from the outer sides of the frame as well as the bottom, and the brackets are for the side mounting bolts.

Hey I put on the tow hitch without the bracket that Im missing. If your car is equipped with the tow package you should have that bracket installed already on your car. Because I took at the car repair around my area and we finally find out that the bracket it's on the car so lucky me.
