SHOULD I replace the Head Gaskets on a 1999 2.5 dohc while I have it down for timing?

What side knuckle has the broken tone ring?

 

Is it an Legacy?

Yes, this is on a legacy.


This is some of the best news that I have heard in a long time.  It seems like it is pot metal, but I will see if I can weld it.

I did not find a difference in either side.  I still have the hubs and tone rings OFF and OUT of the assembled spindles (I have already installed the new bearings, ball joints, and seals).
