I've got cracks both sides where the ARB support attaches to the subframe

Looks as though this is becoming quite a problem then. Is there anyway of making sure this does not happen again?

It this only a problem on Pre-Facelift cars ?

Occasional Knocking noise at the back on my 2000 avant ( facelift) Guess i'll be checking the subframe at the weekend.
What's the best points to jack up the rear of the car ?

Managed to fit my Apikol rear diff mount today by dropping the exhaust mounts. In doing this I had a better look
at my subframe and it looks fooked. I am going to complain to H&R but I don't suppose it will go anywhere.
Other vendors are shipping support brackets with their stiffer bars.
This car has turned into a serious money pit over the last few months...
