Subframe bolt after fuel tank

Curious about how many people had a subframe bolt failure from fuel tank change?

Subframe is not touched when doing a fuel tank. Did a subframe bolt fail on you?

Did they reuse the subframe bolt if they dropped the subframe? Those bolts are one use only, they stretch.

From what I've read, the subframe is not dropped when replacing fuel tanks. I replaced my mounts after the bolt fastener snapped a few weeks ago. Took about 5 hours but it wasn't too bad of a job.

Don't have the issue. I just got my fuel tank changed and saw a bunch of people having issues with their subframe bolt thought there was some sort of connection
