Everything was going fantastic with my rack replacement project today until I snapped one of the U-bolts. I went at it with a 3/8' ratchet and the bolt snapped without too much torque. There seems to be a burr on the rack body that looks like it dug into the bolt and created a stress riser. I've since sanded it smooth with a rat-tail file. Seems to be an odd size U-bolt has anyone successfully sourced one of these? The quality seemed very low compared to the OEM U-bolt that I re-used on the passenger side. Looks like I'll have to call Jorgen Monday for a replacement.
