Never buy britpart bolts!
This large U bolt was for the spring plate which holds the axle to the spring.....now I'd guess it broke at about 45ft/lbs given that my torque wrench was beginning to move the clicker ever so slightly and it felt a little tight.
The torque setting on these is meant to be 58ft/lbs which isn't even a huge amount! I use a Britool wrench and its been calibrated recently so theres nothing wrong with that or the setting as I tightened up the original bolts on the other side of the axle no problem with it.
Fecking ****part strikes again! Never use them for anything important no matter how small it is
oh just for reference too this was the heavy duty 109 1 tonne bolt because I needed a slightly longer one for the range rover axle!
