At my last a/x I noticed the wing was not sitting level and was leaning on one side. Upon closer inspection the left mounting bar was cracked at the weld to the tranny support. The arrow in the photo below points to the area of the weld. I'd show you a close-up pics but the weld was so shitty I'm embarrassed to show it. I never really liked how I fab'd it in the first place so this gave me a chance to do it right. The new mount will allow me to be able to attach a lower rear diffuser in the future.
