Re: i need front end help
Right: that's not a "replaceable" part.
You have a version of the steering box crack that comes standard on these cars when they get old. SUPER common unfortunately. Standard fix is to weld a little reinforcement plate in behind it, inside the boxed sheet metal. Doesn't take much.
The "wonder bar" will help stiffen that area so it doesn't happen again, but won't fix the existing crack.

Re: i need front end help
Sorry guys, its not the frame thats cracked (belive it or not) its just this bracket (or mount) that bolts to the frame, that the sway bar bushings mount to.
I just got the car a few weeks ago and didnt see it before i bought it. i would weld it but pieces are missing. looks like the kid i bought it from hit a bid @ss pot hole or something
