I beg to differ about why it's cracking ...
Looks like you mounted it too solidly with 2 bolts (tightly fitting in the holes ?) at either end, taking the ability to flex out of it.
The car flexes, but the support is so solidly mounted that it can't flex with the frame to the same degree.
So the support beam flexes , then cracks, where it can - beyond and outboard of the washers.
Give the new supports a chance to flex with the frame.
One bolt either end, or bigger holes (and possibly bigger washer) on one end and not tightening it too hard (using locking nuts or threadlock to keep the nut on) so one end can slide a bit.
