I sheared off the nut and threads of the factory bolt that held on the upper control arm body side passenger.
I purchased some grade 8 bolts to replace it and I've been using those as I work on my front end.
Well I replaced the UCA bushing on the Dana 30 yesterday. I heard a loud POP this morning at the end of the street.
Started to check it but figured I was just paranoid.
Got home this evening and the same place but different grade 8 bolt did the same thing!
Now I get to go fight that UCA 2 days in a row.
I guess I'm putting too much torque on them, at least I hope thats the case.
I have the RC drop brackets and the other bolt sheared off flush with the outside of the bracket.
