Wow, I was away a few days and sure missed a thread here.
There have been dozens and dozens of people doing DIY replacements in their garages on jack stands, with any combination of tools. There have been several hundred installs by any number of shops that I can name. This is an absolute first that I am hearing of a shop stripping a rod doing a simple quick clearance measurement. Something doesn't add up, I wish you the best, but man I'd have some real serious questions for the person working on your car. I can only assume it was a major screw up with the impact wrench or angle torqued way beyond reasonable limits. Anyone have a bent rod they can toast and measure with a digital 150+ft lbs wrench when it strips out so we can have a log?
