Warning - Broken control arm bolt! - Toyota Yaris Forums

, those are nasty . Toyota should make it mandatory to have the bolts replaced . There's 60,000+ miles on the sedan and we have plenty of road salt and moisture . Shouldn't leave it up to the mechanic at Toyota . The sedan makes creaking and thunking noises on occasion under certain road conditions . This has been going on nearly 3 years . Been in twice , denied both times . Said no noise at time of test drive and bolts look fine . Got the T.S.B. in mail as well .

Well, I'm offering to drop off my bolts at Transport Canada so they can analyze them!
