It has been suggested I need to replace the cross tube ends on my car.
I am posting photos for your input.

Kindly,

Brian,

Yes, absolutely. Those are worn well beyond their serviceable life. You would never get proper tracking from the car unless replaced. Andy King provides new ones: http://www.mgsparesandrestorations.com/chassis-repair-end/p495422
Be sure to measure the distance from chassis to the end of the cross tube so you get the new ones in their proper location. And be sure the slots are at the same angle relative to the chassis rail. Measure twice and cut once. Then be sure the new pieces are properly welded into place.

As Lew has noted those cross tubes are well past it, I am surprised the tube did not collapse!
