Good thing you spotted it. Can't really weld a component like that so replacement it the only way to go.

isn,t that part of the subframe ? if so it can be welded without issues. take your car to an engineering place . there are a couple at Caloundra in the industrial estate also at Kawana, also there is a mobile welding guy getting around the coast as well.

Your not sitting on the bump stops are you? Could be the cause.
