How much are you spraying? -
The Moser rear, with its separate bolts for top and bottom of the arm, rather than the "through" bolts that the Strange, or even the stock rear uses is a contributing factor. The Moser layout also causes a problem because the bracket width, from the hole to the edge that contacts the differential housing is too narrow. It generally happens when the top bolts are not extremely tight. Did the bracket break on the bottom at the front-most bolt hole. If so, that is the problem - fatigue.
Are you using the bracket specifically made for a Moser rear? It should have the mounting holes drilled a little differently. I know Spohn has two sets of holes in the bracket, one for the stock/Strange layout, and one set for the Moser.Fred
