[QUOTE="FordTechOne, post: 1488142, member: 35543"] Exactly. The bushings are thick, and the threads engage at the very end. The threads do not need to be deep, because they’re only holding the rack side to side, not front to back. That 3/16 of an inch may make all the difference when trying to get the bolt threads started on the back side of the bushing. A unsecured fastener on a rack that turns 35” tires with 2 tons of weight above it is going to cause problems. That has nothing to do with “Ford’s Design”; sorry, they don’t design racks to operate with only half the bolts installed. Don’t be ridiculous. [/QUOTE]
