So then I take my LF suspension apart and sure enough, that C-Block was cracked. Lord knows how long I've been driving on it this way.

Long story even longer..., so then I take my second (VTA) S1 apart, and you guessed it, another cracked C-Block!

Point being, apparently they crack easily and they don't necessarily fail catastrophically.

I'm going to blame these for all of my bad driving of late...
Can you take a picture of where yours are cracking?
