Rear suspension connecting rod issues

Anyone else have problems with this rear suspension link/mounting bracket? The connecting rod had broken a few times, seems to be a weak link. Now the mounting bracket finally tore apart. Yeah, my car has aftermarket suspension (shocks, springs and sway bars) - most likely the culprit.

Thanks for the tips guys - I knew I couldn't be the only one! The upgraded links look much better.

Yup.. sa said, they break quite often with aftermarket bars. my new links come with a section of angle iron to replace the stock bracket on the frame rail as well.
