I agree that it's a good idea to take a look underneath the crossmember and plate weld the corners down below. It does indeed crack down there too.
Thanks, I'm going to have a look down there and see what I can do to improve strength. Here's a pic of the factory weld BTW. Not only is it porous but they missed the top seam completely 😀



Do you happen to have any pics of where the cracks appear underneath the car?
