Suspension Mount Cracks

In the process of repairing the lateral tube above the differential, another issue was encountered.
   
   The rear lower control arm mounting points also have cracks.  These are difficult to see as they are cracked at the top in a weld.  Only the rear mounts have cracks and not the front ones.
   
   I would like to insert a picture, but can't seem to get the "insert image button" to work.
   
   I don't know if this is unique to my car but, a check of the rear suspension mounts couldn't hurt.

Peter, if you read the instructions in the following topic I guess you will be able to attach a picture.

   I for one am interested in seeing what the crack on your car looks like. Does it have the same kind of crack on both left and right hand sides? Next time I get my Ace out of the Carcoon surely I will check this potential failure point as well. I will post my findings.

   Here's some pictures of the suspension crack.  It is a pretty convoluted process to get a picture posted.
