welding is a bad idea, replacing it is the best solution.

The guy said he would send it to Mercedes to be repaired. At first, he said
he would weld it (He had at least 2 nice welders in his shop), but then he
said he would have MB do it. I am guesiing he thought about the liability if
the weld failed.
Not knowing about any other failure, and only going by what he showed me,
the crack was in the mount for the subframe, and not the subframe itself.
Not sure if this is what the normal failure is. It defentely can't not be
fixed without welding the old one, or cutting it out and putting a new one
it.
