Man thats nasty, probably don't want to drive over any big bumps, could get real exciting. Only way to fix that is cut and weld. What is the rest of the vehicle like?

Agreed with Turbo, fix that ASAP. If it lets loose forget steering the XJ, you're just along for the ride at that point.

So could that be noise? A buddy suggested wheel bearings as well since it was while turning.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! That can cause a lot of noise. When ever you have part just hanging there they will cause a noise.
The way that is I wouldn't even worry about the wheel bearings until you get that fix. What ever you do. DON'T drive it or you can be in a really bad accident.
