4th one in 4 months. I'm on a roll.

stop over torquing them

yup. sure you can do that with other parts like header bolts, etc, but for a suspension that was recently installed (?), usually its because the nut was over torqued on the bolt, or they are cheap as fuck...kind of like the ddm coilovers that they made for bmw. i read that their camber plate bolts snapped like they were made of straw.

good point, when I have to go into something that I recently did I'm usually relieved because I know its going to be easy.

Fronts were done last summer.

But those are OEM stock, top hats.

1 per month is not as bad as 1 per week.... which i had in the autumn.... during 3 weeks

I've worked on the car 4 times in those 4 months.

All of them were bolts that I had never touched, well, except for this one.

The top hats were oem honda...

Over torqueadge was the key in this case.

I mean there is a chance that I did over torque them, I don't remember doing so, but its a possibility. Regardless shit sucks.

I thought it was that nut you had to remove? I admit I haven't been paying that much attention.
