Broken Bolts....UGH ! !
 

Since my return from military deployment I have been working on many upgrades for my evo. I am extremely irritated by the poor quality of the bolts used on this car. I have broken 9 bolts, all on trying to remove them. These range from the small 12mm bolts on the radiator/headlight brace to the 14mm bolts holdin the rear sway bar mounts.

I have soaked every bolt with BP blaster prior to removal and they still break. Talk about crap.:thumbdown

I find it crazy that a steel bolt mounted into an aluminum thread (sway bar mount) should break upon removal.

Any one else have this problem....Broken bolts galore! !
