Re: Ahhh crap....
Mark, thanks for the advice. I am going to pull the entire rear out and gut it, and run it down to DTS to have them take care of the weld cleanup and repair. I'll try to hang out there and document the whole process in case anyone wants to tackle this job on their own.
Ed, that's exactly what I thought when I saw it.  Maybe it's fate.

Looks like a dirt dauber has already been to work on the perch at some point in time...

Re: Ahhh crap....
It was probably cracked and they did nothing to stop the crack... just welded over the top of it... a common problem.
Grind the old welds off and find the crack... drill a small hole at either end of the crack, grind a V down the length of the crack, and then weld it.
