Yeah, and if you're still driving it, you'll want to replace that kinda soon or the side-effects can be expensive. I broke my lower driver's side A-arm crossing a (short) curb while in a sharp turn, and just driving the car a few yards to get it out of the street caused the inner tripod to completely blow out the inner driver. Like, it ripped out every side of the cup that wasn't holding a bearing surface. Which particularly sucked, since the driver's side cup is the one more likely to be worth keeping after a few miles...
I suggest you replace your lower A-arms as a pair (if one is cracking, the other is probably close) and plan on having a professional with a press install your new rubber bushings into the mount brackets.
