MIght have been over torqued previously, the bolt stretch is very evident on the threads of the headed portion.
Cheap insurance using ARP hardware.

Yeah, it felt odd just before "popping"...
Just glad that it's an easy fix.

I always use cap studs. Those fasteners get loosened and tightened like a dozen times during gear setup. Critical fasteners like these should be replaced after a handful of uses, just like cylinder head or main cap bolts. Its even more critical on a 9" because unlike a Salisbury type rear (8.8, 12 bolts, etc.) you can't run a girdle cover to brace the caps. Those fasteners are the only things that keep the carrier from being able to move rearwards and when you load a rear hard that's exactly what it tries to do.
REMEMBER!!! When posting a question about your Mustang or other Ford on this forum, BE SURE to tell us what it is, what year, engine, etc so we have enough information to go on. |
