- there is no safety issue if these fasteners fail. I achieved full torque on all the re-used fasteners.

I"ll go as far as "probably not a severe safety hazard, most of the time for most folks in mild to moderate driving", but if the front sta-bar suddenly disconnects at one of its endlinks when you"re cornering hard you might get some, ummm, suddenly unusual handling characteristics. Not everybody likes handling "surprises" or copes with them very well.

I have had this happen fishtailed 360ed and almost hit the curb
