Rear Upper Arm Bolt - should I be concerned?
The 'cam' bolt for the rear upper arm meeting the knuckle was not solid (the 'disc' was slightly loose on the bolt) unlike both the originals and the other replacement bolt (both new bolts were the Borg & Beck set from AF).
I'm assuming the bolt when nipped up should be OK, but should there be any concern about it?Black 05 TDV6 HSE Auto

every one I've had has been one piece, maybe this is something new but I'd query it too

Is that a new bolt?
The ones I had in my kit were one piece as were the ones I took out - best to check on that.I see no ships........

Yep, new bolt.
Annoying thing is I'm getting a full alignment done today so don't really want to be swapping it later.
Could use the old one but not sure if they are, somewhat, stretch bolts. That and I mullered the old bolt's 8mm end somewhat.
Didn't notice that it wasn't one piece until after I'd slathered it in copper grease, hence it looks a bit messy in the photo.Black 05 TDV6 HSE Auto
