Default tracking bar issues

Has anyone had any tracking bar issues with their rig? I have broke the weld from both axles 3 times in the last 3 months. Twice from the rear bar and once from the front. I don't do anything crazy so I don't understand why I have had these issues and I am just curious if anyone else has had these same problems.

Weak factory welds on a component that sees a lot of stress?

It isn't all that uncommon to break those welds, especially when running some of the trackbar brackets out there. Several companies offer better bolt-on or weld-on brackets and/or reinforcement.

Buy new front/rear brackets from Dynatrac and also buy some reinforcement brackets for them as well from JKS or similar.
