If its only one out of four, don't worry about it.

Mine broke one each side, never caused a problem.

have they sheared leaving any thread at all showing? 2 of mine are sheared but theres enuf thread left to get nuts just about started

if theres not even that much, but a small amount none the less, u cud get a new threaded length welded to the remainder, but it stands a fair chance of shearing off if u try to go mad tightening the nut up

nothing left even the plate that the bolts are attached to has rusted and fallen to pieces. its being a pain because the bumper has now sagged on one side pushing on to my intercooler which is rubbing on the rad and snaped the radiatior backet meaning its now touching the actuatior (spelling??)
