Al-Ko Trailer Tongue failure
The bolt which sheared on my trailer was also a 10.9. As Howard noted above and I have stated earlier in the thread the threads were in the shear plane which I believe is the starting point for the troubles as the threads become distorted due to trailer tongue stresses during towing allowing the bolt to loosen which creates move movement which eventually ends in shearing.
