My suggestion would be to repair it. Since this piece is already cracked, its structual integrity is shot, meaning that it will worsen and the crack will expand. Better fix it before it causes more trouble.

Those are the top shock mounts.
If they go,your shocks will go through your bonnet...It has happened before.
Change them now if you can..they are not very expensive.....
