sorry this makes no sense at all. maybe a picture and arrow would help. The crossmember is the bracket frame to frane that supports the trans. Nothing should be welded on your driveshaft but the yokes that hold the u joints.

You need a new shaft, they welded the joints to the weld yokes because the joint caps were spinning in the weld yoke.

Get a new shaft and then upgrade to AL and gain some more performance and mpg.
