Noticed wierdly on my front top link yesterday that right near the centre there was 2 threads that were stripped, almost missing. Yet the rest of the link was perfect. No damaged threads anywhere else. Wondered if it was an issue. It didn’t make me feel overly great going on the main road with the mower but it was fine. Should I be concerned?
