Different day, different scenario. And for the safety of others, do your make up and hair at home.

Bet you anything the damm bolts were incorrectly torqued at the factory causing the bolts to walk and oval out the holes. I have seen several of these trucks do exactly as you are describing when they have come in for front end alignments and the bolts were not tight enough.

Weld a piece of plate over it re drill the hole and rock and roll.

If and a big "if" I get another one, I will look into making some kind of reinforcement to weld in that area. Are those bolts tty?
