Just got back from the shop...

...as I had the front motor mount replaced again.  Had all four done
just over a month ago.  The front was supposedly a TT HD but Tuesday
while under the car changing the oil I looked at it and noticed that
it was breaking already.  When the mech took the bracket off, the
mount just fell right off the holder.

Anyway, the new one is in and while I was there he showed me a few
things.  Not cool things either:

1)  Cracks (at least 3) in my crossmember.  Isn't that the name off
the piece that the front mount is attached to?

2)  Driver's outer CV boot cracked (that's the one that's just inside
the wheel, correct?).  This is why my rim is turning black with
grease?

3)  Driver's side power steering boot is the same.

As far as the first goes, I guess it'll have to be welded?  I'm sure
that the weasle's brace would help?

2 and 3, what's involved with replacing and should I do other stuff
while I'm in there?

Comments, tips, advice, etc. welcome.
