[QUOTE="GaryTJ, post: 1072215, member: 16023"] I was using the small joint with the 7/16" bolt on my upper (single) arm and have had 0 issues with it breaking. I have broken axles, hubs and lots more but never the bolt. And in my opinion most people don't understand the purpose of a bolt. They are not there to keep from shearing. If that were the case, then you would use a pin. Bolts are a clamp. They are there to hold things tight enough so that the friction on the mating objects is enough to keep the objects from moving. As long as the bolt does its job and the parts cannot move you will have no problem. If however, you do not tighten things enough and things can move, then you are using the bolt as a pin and you will break bolts. [/QUOTE]
