This is a perfect example of how an automobile dealership mechanic abuses the use of an impact wrench.
These are rear sway bar link shoulder bolts on a 2005 Jeep TJ Rubicon I'm working on. The one on the left has a sway bar link bushing attached.
It will spin on the bolt freely. But it will not come off because the end of the shoulder on the bolt is mushroomed due to being over torqued.
This is the Jeep I bought last year and have a thread about in this section. The dealer I purchased it from in PA installed new rear sway bar links just before selling it to me.
I just ordered some new shoulder bolts from Mopar yesterday.
