2014 Fiesta St3 Problem, Possible Crack Please Help

[Barryh1988]

Right,

Im not too technical with my parts on the car so ill try and describe as best as i can.

fiesta ST3 64 plate 2500miles totally standard.

PROBLEM 1 -

I parked up in a car park and on full lock noticed a metal on metal grinding sound from my rear left wheel. also now made it on straight thought it was an arch rubbing a locked on brake. So did a bit of hard braking and cleared for now.

PROBLEM 2-

from investigating problem 1 i had a look under the rear and what i think looks like a crack in the bottom of the suspension. "see attached photos"

They look and feel like a crack as its not a perfect straight line, but is the same on the right side that makes me think otherwise.

Any suggestions welcome please

If it's 100% symmetrical imo it's meant to be there, and probably isn't a crack

Btw pics aren't loading

I gotta say I agree with diesel pig on the other thread, it looks like a seam weld and it's meant to be there
