so i picked up a new car today, and apon investigation found that one of the two bolts that hold on the struts to the strut towers is sheared off level with the top of the sheet metal strut tower inside the car.
since they are adjustable and still ride fine, i was wondering if they are worth or able to save. but i guess the dumb owner before me torqued it until it snapped in 1/2.

suprised nothing came up in the archives on this. i know it can't be a first.
