It's the bridge that connects with the motor mounts isn't it? You will most likely have to replace that if it is. If not the motor mounts will hang with the engine.

 

I believe it's your crossmember. I would go to a junkyard and swap it.

 

How about a photo. Might be the core support.

How do you even crack a crossmember? This vehicle must have some kind of dubious history.

 

I'll take photos and post them once I get off from work

 

Man he's been working a long time

 

Probably couldn't figure out how to post the photo.

Use photobucket OP!

 

OK sorry I went Mia phone was broken. But I found out its my radiator support rotting away smh guy told me to sell the car it's not worth it and guy at maaco said 700 and he will help me out

Changing out the cross member is not that difficult to do. As far as it rotting out, it is pretty common depending on where you live.
