Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I'm driving a 1994 XJ here in the US, and couldn't believe how easily the upper rear shock mount bolts snapped last week when i was replacing the shocks. I've seen some other US jeep lists that most have had similar problems, but I was wondering if the Australian models are doing the same thing.

It felt like they were maybe only grade 5 bolts. No rust on them at all either. Has anyone else experienced this??

Now that i'm driving with 1 rear shock, I gotta get out the EZ outs and try to fix it.... Then once that side is done, I get to break the bolts out of the other side.....

Hmmm Sorry Haven't experienced any probs in the Volvo like that yet.....
AFAIK the aussie mounts are the same as the yank mounts.....

Well, I got it fixed. Bolts were well and truly not gunna come out, so i drilled new mounting holes at a "twist" angle from what they were, then drilled straight up thru the floor and bolted it all together....

PAIN IN THE S.

Sounds like they might have been over tight from the factory causing the bolts to stretch and be weak. Good to hear you have fixed the prob.
