My suspicion is the bolt was potentially misthreaded or in a bind as these are "blind holes". Attempting 120 ft/lbs of torque on a misguided bolt will lead to the failure described. My bolts retorqued without fail just as BMR's test car 6th Gen. BMR's response to this issue was appropriate & timely. I have nothing to gain but I feel they will lose business from a single spurious post that says nothing of the quality of their suspension pieces. BMR has a proven quality setup, and I stand by their ability to engineer beyond GM's standard issue cradle bushings.
I agree.
