I had one of those cars. It sucked. Neil is correct above if you crack the front or rear clam you replace the whole thing. They are (were) very delicate, about $15K each, and perpetually backordered from Lotus. Usually you had to wait 9-12 months to get one when I owned mine, I can't imagine what that wait is like now.
IMO the biggest problem w/ the Elise/Exige is the wheelbase is too short. I was never able to dial out the snap oversteer on the track despite alot of effort and $$.
