    My replacements will be here tomorrow. These will go in the trash.

    The silver lining is the non snapped one actually 1. doesnt retract all the way and 2. rebounds poorly. So in the end, I'm not totally mad this happened. I wouldn't have known otherwise.

      That's the spirit! You can see why it snapped; the stud is thinner just below the threads there. Great candidate for a shear point.

        Sucks OP. When I did my front end refresh I put that nut on with a torque wrench. That effing sucked.
