I really can only assume this is it, as I didn't ask what was done, but when I looked under yesterday saw this shiny new bracket.

Wtf is that ment to achieve ?



Wrong torque setting... You just tighten it up..but I'm surprised they didn't just put an indicator on it like the wheel studs.. Idiots

Drilling a hole and fitting a Castellated Nut and Split pin for the win! seriously! they have been using that system on the Tie rod and Drag link for decades!
