    it would have taken the force of that impact mostly in shear, which is what that bracket is designed for. There are actually pins embedded in the frame that take that force, not the bolts, so you're lucky there. but you really should have both installed..

      Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.
