Why not just weld 'er up again? Not a good idea...
At first, I thought you had just dropped the whole front axle off by breaking the pivot pin. Not so lucky. Yeah, hit the dealers at the top of the page.
I would have suggested just welding it back up but it looks like someone already welded it wrong and now the metal is brittle.I do a lot of cast repair it looks like the PO did not pre heat or post heat that earlier "repair"I think you would have trouble with this axle again no matter what you do to it now.
