Default K-member question with pics.

Recently i took my car off jackstands and was just looking things over and noticed this.


This is part of the kmember that the control arms bolt up to. If u look closely in the center top of the pic you can see where part of the weld looks like it is cracked. Is this something to be concerned with as in being dangerous, or am I just too paranoid. It is welded at the top of the kmember as well.

I think that's just the end of the welds. Fine

alright thanks i drove it around and it seems fine at highway speeds. Reason i asked about this is because i recently had jackstands in between the k-member and the control arms. Is this an alright spot for the stands or should i stick with the frame rails. I'd like to use this spot for my header install.
