Yup, I've seen that quite a few times....
Not just s/arm bolts, but front shock (upper) and rear brace (the one that needs to be loosened to remove the plug)
I think that with a regular maintenance teardown, inspection and re-assembly, things like this can be caught before they catch you.

Good call Euro! You just summed up every bolt that I've been able to break on my Dale. You guys really know your s**t!:clap: :usa

Another thing with chassis maintenance.
I rarely use a torque wrench....just the appropriate sized tools (no 6' prybar!)
Wind 'em up until they pinch and then a grunt'n'fart and they're good to go.

I have a new bolt on the way but in the meantime I drilled out the hollow pivot bolt and tapped it for a half inch fine thread stud .
Im sure it is far stronger than it was before. We ran 60 miles tonight and it worked perfect. I can fix anything.:hammer:
