Any chance of looking for a shop that can weld it back on? Definetly a manufacter defect that got by quality on the assembly line. Maybe even take it to a dealer or contact GM customer service.

well its the original gm housing, but it didnt break off at the weld.
its like split across the middle, the metal is ripped and seperated
all the suspension is stock right now, any ideas how it got caused?

nope, never a wreck.
and i had stripped the whole rear end for painting and there wasnt any signs of a weak spot
or cracking.
ive just never heard of that breaking and if the car has good power ive only seen people
tear up the housing.
just put in a 383 lt1 mildly built only has around 350 or so hp due to stock heads and a small cam with a a4
