Bent front 12.9 diff bolts

[xxchieferxx]

So I have bmr bk049 and my driveshaft/front side bolts have bent. Has anyone had good luck with the bk050 (billet aluminum) bushings with not getting bent bolts? Trying to determine if doing the bk050 will cure this problem or if there is another solution.

No, if anything the stiffer bushings would put even more stress on the bolts. Do you have the upgraded hardware kit (RH017)? There should be no slop between the bolts and the sleeves in the bushings. Slop = sheared bolts.

The above comment is inaccurate.

Solid bushings fix the bent/broken bolt AND diff mounting 'ear' issue.

They're the fix all....but very massive NVH increase.
