I think that this was either broken or fractured when I bought this car 5 years ago. One of the first things I noticed was that there was an aftermarket cv and axle on this side of the car with a torn boot so I had it replaced with a factory part. So at one time in this car's life I would guess that there was a failure of a cv and axle, so I would say that it was impact. It will be welded tomorrow and a brace is being made to add extra support on this side, I am also replacing both transmission mounts since I am under the car. I'll post photos of the repair.
