He says he had to get a used mounting part (again, not sure what i am talking about) that was damaged (elongated hole) by the movement of the part that was unrestrained by the broken bolt. And he is waiting on Whiteline to get a replacement part. I don't know if he is talking to them about the failed part. I just said, "Fix it, Jorge."
In the installation instructions they say to check the torque after 100km. Looking at the 4th picture and how it elongated the hole, it looks like it backed out and the movement broke it off. I'd make sure to retorque it after some driving to prevent this.
