I have the Synergy relocation bracket so I will be keeping an eye on this.
I'm not surprised that the bracket can crack now that I have had a look at it. Everything welded to JK axles is either crappy and / or poorly welded.
This really come to light when I removed my front control arm brackets to fit the Synergy HD ones. What I thought would take some effort to remove required a half hearted grind of one weld and a quick smack with a hammer and they were off.
Taking them off and prepping the axle took less than 10 mins.
Also years ago when I fitted my rear relocation bracket, I was horrified at the couple of lumps of "bird shit" glueing it on. I re welded it before I reassembled it.
Also I think the torquing of the extended trackbar bolt has been covered elsewhere. Use a crows foot at 90° on a torque wrench.
