So I had a funny clunking noise coming from the rear. I got under there and found the upper control arm mount is cracked right in half and seperated. It was a pretty clean crack. and it seems as I drive the two pieces contact each other and make the clunk noise.

Has anyone else had this problem? The car is naturaly aspirated has never had slicks on it. But has been launched atleast a few times. The car does have 98k on it. This is on the passenger side if that matters. and It is where the UCA attaches to the body of the car.

Any ides on how to fix this? Just get it welded? is there aftermarket parts to replace this?

I have pics not sure if they will add value or not.

get a torque box kit and then weld everything up.
it's a common problem but usually happens with sticky tires and solid arms
