Tell this to r+m. Most new ones we see from other sources the bolts are loose on at least not torqued up/threadlocked very well. Their system on load and packster is Ok, but not much redundancy in it and have seen them fall off on folk before. You get warning though as steering gets sloppy enough for most people to realise something is wrong.
R+m some of thr bolts are upside down, only way for them to work. Have a pin in them, but easily knocked off and tbh most loose all their safety pins within first year of regular use. Wpuld be a lot safer if they used cotter pins/split pins or safety wire, that way bolt could come totally loose and it would not back out of thr fitting = steering would feel awful but there would be no failure

Also regarding steering links, it’s a good idea to have the bolt going in from the top. I appreciate they have nylocs on them, but if the nut were to work loose and come off for whatever reason, the bolt won’t fall straight out and you won’t immediately lose your steering.
