When you're not looking...

I was under the Roza today mucking with the wiring for the interior light switch ('cause I buggered it when playing around with it earlier in the arvo :roll:) and came across these...

:shock:

I was alerted to investigate when I noticed the sheared off part of the first bolt lodged inbetween a chassi cross member and the fuel lines :?

Upon further inspection I discovered that TWO of the bolts of my body lift blocks had sheared off!!! It is the middle two on the driver's side.

I quickly had a look at the others and they appear fine...but it's a worry to think how long I've been driving around with them like that and what would have happened in the long run had I not noticed!

I'm off tomorrow to be buying some replacements!

:cool:

Lucky you found them now and not later. What grade bolts were they ?

[Luke]

I didn't do the lift mate, so can't be certain what grade bolts were used

The pics you see of the nut and bolt together (on carpet) - are the nut and bolt from one block.

The pics of the bolt on tiles is all I found of that one, no nut end at all, just the bolt end as there's nothing underneath that block to catch the nut end when it sheared.

I'll def be keeping a close eye on the rest of them and replacing these ones with grade 8's bolts that's for sure...
