[QUOTE="82toyomud, post: 1399810, member: 16001"] I would say 90% of the time a bolt is used in a shear application, and as an engineer I always *try* to make the bolt the designed failure mode. A bolt is much cheaper and easier to fix/replace than a tab or link or rod-end. On my baja car we use Ti bolts that were 1/4" for all suspension and steering components. The bolt had a factor of safety of 7 (double shear) over the tearing tab off, so you can't always make it work. [/QUOTE]
