You should have a factory fitted front sway bar .Cracking like that is usually is caused by the strutt towers flexing to mutch.Is it happening on both sides? Any mods to the car? (eg Bigger rims,tyres) Any known accidents? Strutt braces do help brace the towers but to start cracking like that is strange for sure . :?

Wow :shock:

Where is that photo taken? inside the wheel/guard or from inside the engine bay?

Is it both towers or just one side?
