Fried Rear End

I need a rear end for my 85 gs. It needs to be a lsd rear end. I cracked the axle housing on mine.

I currently have a 81 gsl rear end installed. I would prefer a gsl-se rear end. If you have a good one please let me know! I really dont want an open diff, but if you have a good one up for sale, let me know.

Thanks, ProjektSE7EN.

Heres pis of the crack!! Its along the drivers side front weld. (Is this common? 2nd time for me.):

If that is the 2nd read end you have cracked I would make sure your rear suspension is not binding at all. However I would weld and also put reinforcement on it, just in case.
