Hi Ray,

Not much info there.

How about telling us some more about your car such as model, year, history, general condition, etc. A few good photographs would be most useful and what its like on the road, such as any odd behaviour, etc? 

You may then get some useful advice, as the chaps here will then have something to go on.

Sorry, Ray, but more info is needed. The problem may be trivial, or quite serious, but without knowing the exact position of the crack, which way it's running, how long/deep it is, whether the chassis is corroded and so on, it's impossible to know.

I agree Martin.
