[QUOTE="Yardsale , post: 1009570, member: 58988"] This must be a low occurrence failure as I don't recall any reports of this. I think you don't know what caused the bolt failure. I doubt it is an inherent design flaw, although it could be a defective part, but I suspect that the bolt was somehow damaged. I don't think this warrants a alteration and potential weakening of the adjuster (a failure in the waiting). Liability (civil and or criminal) and insurance. When you alter a vehicle part, assuming an inspection reveals the alteration, you could be liable for any failure and associated ramifications. If there is high dollar repair or injury, or death, there will probably be an inspection to determine cause. If it is determined that the cause is a result of that alteration, or it can be claimed it was the result of that alteration, your insurance company will probably deny coverage. Not sure it's worth it. [/QUOTE]
