lol the way the metal is, think my friend told me he wouldn't be able to weld it, and those things are pricey

if you got the cash http://mazdatrix.com/n-4.htm has em from 100-175 bux, if not, find a local pull-a-part and try to pull your own

You can always try cleaning it real good and using some JB weld. Nothing to lose. If it doesn't work, it was broken anyways.

Remove and lube before they break and you will very, very rarely have one break.

I modified this slightly using 12 or 14 gauge romex copper wire and a set of electrical pliers.

free fix and was 6 months ago, still good and mad easy.
