There are no unusual wear patterns and everything looks brand new. I will try new bolts next to see if that helps. It seems as though they are bottoming out and I cant give them a 1/4 turn past the torque, I get maybe 1/8 or 1/16th a turn before I give up thinking they will snap. I don't think its a lifter cause it seems like im getting noise from front and back (I know that they can fail but unlikely to loose multiple for little to no reason)
