The plot thickens...
As usual, the deeper into it we go the more we find problems.
First, the housing is cracked. A little tricky to see in the first picture but its the black line where the bushing hub meets the main body (thats a hole, not paint flake). Im not sure the material (maybe aluminum), so not sure welding is such a good idea (a good corner for stress concentration, and if aluminum then it will soften when welding).
It looks like it was worn through from the inside out. (ALL the bushings are completely shot)
Maybe some epoxy would work though.... mickey mouse, but maybe.
