I have an upper A Arm with a small crack in it but, it does not go all the way thru. Its about 1 inch long. Repair with weld or replace? The crack is in the middle of it not near any bolt holes or ball joint mounting areas. I am thinking just weld and grind it down. Any advice is welcomed.

Replace it, you can't afford to have a failure. You might want to check the other side also. If want to keep it original then check this site out.
Good luck Ray

I'd replace it ..
also while its apart ...... INSPECT the lowers as they are the ones that normally crack !!!
