Interesting Hardware Anomaly

I got my car re-aligned today after replacing the steering rack again. An "opportunity" arose - the right-rear toe adjuster went missing. The shop manager told me that sometimes that happens because that area flexes a lot, and it will shear (his words, not mine.) They are covering the cost of replacement, because they touched it last - can't fault them there - but I think his explanation is humorous at best.

Any opinions? Personally, I think they just didn't tighten stuff completely.

Your assessment is probably correct - a face saving story on his part - willing to bet he didn't put up much of an arguement about covering the cost either.

Unless of course, you run through pot holes deep enough to bury people in
