Better not turn too hard, your 10mm track bar bolt might fail too.....

some people feel ok with a 10mm bolt stopping their axle from climbing over itself and doing a back flip....some don't. for me there is way too much pucker factor in that particular kit. but thats just me, and i don't have first hand experience with the kit in question....which ALWAYS seems to be in question....

Guess you need to get under there and look at one. There's alot more than 1 bolt holding that caster adjuster together.

I'm sure they are pointing out the one 10mm bolt attatching it to the axle. Which is the only bolt attatching the upper to the axle. Which is the same size as stock, and at least stock applications use two of them.

Sorry to beat the horse but has anyone cut the upper mount off and welded in a threaded standard joint? Would it work ? Any reason it wouldn't ?
