So I'm riding along the ditch when this happens

I was replacing the bushings in my a-arms awhile back and one of the long bolts on the bottom arm was almost sheared off, had a hell of a time getting it out. I went to a hardware store and picked up some I believe they were 10mm 8.8grade 105mm bolts to replaced them and make them stronger. Glad to here your ok probably would have happened to me if I wouldn't have had to put the bushings in.

Checking those bolts is now on my pre-ride check.

The one on mine that was almost sheared you couldn't even tell by looking but when I went to remove it wouldn't come out and was half sheared at the end of the threads

Here's the bolt

Was riding with a friend in the UP this last winter when we noticed, while parked at a gas station, that the nut was missing and the bold half way out. Seems to be an issue....
