Default BIG suspension problem!

Ok, so saturday i get under my car to grease my u-joints and i find that the torque box is cracked pretty bad. Well i figured i'd get it fixed or welded sometime this week and baby it. I got home last night and it was making some furious sounds. I look under my car and my torque box is completely hanging off my car and my lower control arm is nearly draging![:@] Does anyone think this can get fixed? My buddy said that if it cant be fixed the car is pretty much done for

damm boy. well you will need to take it to a good welder. i would take it to a chassis shop. get it welded back in place then get a battle box for the lowers and uppers., weld them solid. youre looking at a few hundred bucks to fix this

mine are cracked very bad too, but not falling off.
I got a quote at a ford bodyshop and they said $800 for both sides.

sorry to hear that yours completly tore off.
