Hello List - I wanted to toss a quick note out regarding a car that was recently purchased by a PNDC member here in the Seattle area. The car was standing at a repair shop with a completely fractured TAB, and the threaded half was completely missing (including the nut, shims, and large flat washers. The new owner bought the car, and brought it home on a dolly. I swapped out the broken bolt with a new TOBY-TAB (of course!), and also changed the other bolt. The "non-fractured" bolt was substantially bent, with several areas of galling wear and corrosion pitting. The car came with complete records since new (it was a one-owner car), and the TAB's had been changed with OEM bolts at least once, and inspected and retorqued several times. The car had about 52K miles on it. The passenger side (where the fractured bolt was) trailing arm rubber bushing retention plate was bent, and the bushing was somewhat deformed, indicating that the bolt had been broken before, in a violent fashion, resulting in the damage to the adjacent hardware. As I look at my remaining stock of TOBY-TAB's, I just thought you'd like to know! Toby Peterson VIN 2248 Winged1
