Misbehaving Subframe Bolt!

Yup that's what I've been thinking. Not good but it can't be that bad right? I hope...
Oh wait I forgot to mention that it seems the right side is using the same bolt (it's also a 21mm socket), except without any problems. Could it be my MY 2000 is so old, they need a different subframe bolt?

Oh ok. Yea that's the exact same dimension as the bolt I ordered, which is different from the one on my car. I wonder what happened to my car that required both sides to be retapped!

Seems everyone should just remove the bolts and add some anti-seize compound for the future.
I did my front caster adjusters when I got the car, because I've learned they all seize..

"Replace" usually means the bolt is either torqued very close to yield, or thread damage due to galvanic corrosion, or oxidization, is likely. Anything critical to safety or longevity is usually a replacement item too.
