Apparently during transit from Dan, someone had dropped one of the strut boxes on its end, which broke the bit that holds the 3 bolts "captive" where it comes through the wing in the engine bay, so the garage had to tack weld them to stop them spinning to fasten the nuts on, so not a bad price all in all.

Those top bolts are only supposed to be tightened to 40 odd ft /lbs. Sounds like the garage snapped one of them off throught over tightening. Just done mine y/d and if your packaging was anything like mine, there is no chance they could drop the box and break one off. Atleast they sorted it though . MY2010 TDV8 Vogue Ipanema Sand

Did those of you that have replaced these recently have to replace the bolts also?

No but they are often seized into the hub assy and can be a real b h.... Make sure the strutt top mounting three threads are clean of rust before you undo them as they can be a pain too |
