944 spring plates

[Wally]

Holy cow!!
Only now I understand what you meant. Thanks!!

That bolt is only supposed to have a longitudinal force running through it. My only thoughts are that the bolt must have binded somehow, maybe in the torsion house cover plate at the heim joint/uniball or running out of suspension travel and the spring-plate substitute hit the shock tower? Bit like what Clive was saying I guess..
