Dear Mr Buttocks,
I concur with your remarks.
After a second more thorough inspection, I am reasonably satisfied that no cracking or deformation is present atm, regular inspections will be done.
@waybackwen...your bolts are broken, you could TRY Jeep Oz, on the 1300 number, or via email.
Checking the Product Recall Statements wording, they only need to rectify a fault, so if no cracking was present, nothing was done (by my reading)
The first product recall is for loose bolts, so same thing.
Whether bolts breaking after 20 years would be covered, I have no idea, other than to say, it would surprise me if the parent company would accept any liability, if there was any legal way out of it...(there are fairly recent posts on here that state they did though..)
I guess only a court case would decide for sure!
The PRS link is in this thread, and post #86 is very informative too.
breakage or reinforcement of Steering parts is not unknown with other makes too, especially when off-road, and/or with big wheels, my vehicle appears to have been stock all its life
