My guess is that when the left rear trailing arm came apart that put a lot of stress on the front diff bolt which caused it to break. Main reason why I think that is because in the picture he shows the broken bolt which should have fallen out somewhere on the road. So it couldn't have been broken for very long at all. It probably happened simultaneously.

When I replaced mine I made sure I put a lock washer under the head and check it every once in awhile.

Dino, what is Tony's feeling on this as to why it broke because in the picture that looks like the upgraded 10.9 bolt?
