Default Re: My shields are falling off

Missing bolts from the skid plates have been a common problem, mine was missing 2 before the first oil change. Haven't heard much about it lately, maybe manufacturing procedures have been improved.

Skid plates do have to be removed to change the oil, so if you had that done somewhere they may have neglected to tighten the bolts.

Fun part of finding new ones was matching hex on existing ones. Something odd, but replacements I found had a different hex size (factory are metric threads with SAE hex - or the opposite). Didn't want to have to use two separate sockets to remove the skid plates, so I switched two bolts on the radiator support.
