Little bit of oxy/ace welding later.

...a crack almost all the way across my control arm.

Correction: T/C rod bracket.

But that's weird...not rusted through, just broken...huh.

Ever curb the front wheel at speed?

It cracks like that because other parts of it are bolted in place.

Great reason to get Tension Rods with spherical rod ends if you don't have them already.
