I don't feel that they were over-tightened, but it seems that is about the only thing that could have done this. I'm always willing to own up to my come-backs though!

Did the manufacturer give a torque spec for those fasteners? If so, did you guys follow it? Just asking...
If no torque spec was used then I would certainly suspect over-tightening... what works on OE Subaru fasteners might not work on these parts, because aftermarket mfgrs. frequently use lower strength hardware.
