Are you talking about the bracket that holds the strut tower bushing?

If it's cracked maybe welding is an option, but probably things will warp and shift and you'll need a front end alignment. Then I think it's better to get a new bracket from a bone yard or Volvo and maybe a new strut bushing and then an alignment. What shape are the shocks in? Maybe its time for all new stuff?
Be careful to ask the experts (not me) what after market parts are OK and what
parts need to be OEM for the front end overhaul.

Good luck, Bill
