Put a new trackbar on the 2001 xj and needed a new M10x1.5x73 10.9 bolt. Put an M10 8.8 in temporarily but didn't torque it to the 74ft/lbs spec. Just about 60ft/lbs.
Drove it for a day but wanted the proper 10.9 rated bolt.
Got one at Lowe's, and it snapped in half on the threads while torquing it. Got really lucky and was able to fish out the flag nut with the broken piece. No more Chinese hardware from Lowe's. Going with high quality next time.
