Same thing happened to the stainless bolts that I used! Glad to hear I’m not the only one this has happened too ?. Next step was going to be a tap but wasn’t sure if this was the issue so good to hear, thanks!
After driving a bit on some washboard gravel roads, I have to say that these struts are a huge improvement over stock. They really smooth out some teeth chattering on gravel. I highly recommend the upgrade.
