I guess when/if I get coilovers I am installing myself so that I can make sure EVERY bolt gets Loktite to make sure it goes nowhere while driving. Can you imagine this type of thing happening at freeway speeds with the family in the car? Man, Nolan, glad you're ok, that is a freaky idea.

Thats what gets me, I live in the San Fernando Valley and I use the canyon roads a lot to get to the westside. It would have not been good if it this happend there.

Just glad it happened at an opportune time where it was safer than if you had been tooling through the canyons.
Forsure!

Are you referring to item 11, 16, or something totally different?

When I took a look, it was the bolt that held 11 in place between 14-17.
Really? How did this affect the right rear camber?

He mentioned the right rear, the diagram you posted depicts the front suspension.

Sorry to post the wrong pic, Nolan. Looking at the rear diagram makes more sense to me. Glad you got it fixed w/o incident.
It was either bolt #18 or 21.
