Doh! What model is that?

Go and see a welder about having that repaired before it snaps completely.

Wow. Did it hit something to crack the strut mount like that? Is it rusty? What does it look like underneath? Is the upper spring mount cracked as well?

Seriously, you would lose steering control if it snaps.

A welder can probably make that better than new for less $ than you might expect.

I think the strut mount is ok.You can see the ground if you look underneath.

But doesn't the crack extend down the back of the strut tower?
