Thx for feedback, it was totally broken off and I did not feel comfortable with welding it back together.





Yes - it's getting stress on the weld because the engine is moving relative to frame.
I got a replacement from my dealer, put a rubber bushing into the mounting point
I'm expecting this to last 4 years now ... hopefully.
