just a quick question on my 4runner. Just found a 2cm crack in the fron axle passengers side next to the fixed mounting bracket. would the best option be to weld it or replace??

also im having problems with a constant grinding noise everytime I turn left or right, anyone know what could cause this and how to fix?? first thought the joints needed replacing but it seems they r ok..
