Maybe. Or, maybe they would have just rattled loose from the vibrations.
It is unclear to me how exactly the bolts came out. Most are pinched and look like there might not have been enough thread engagement to make the bolts as secure as they could have been, which would have allowed them to "wiggle," and wear away where they did. When we replaced the bolts we bought F9s that were .25" longer, and we put red loctite and AN washers on them.
Rob, I read that link you posted. Sometimes I think you are one of a handful of intelligent Ford guys, and that is mostly because you have a Corvette.
I'm still dumb struck that a relatively big manufacturer like Moser would have a product like this that appears, at least to me, to have more than just a quality control issue.
