Heat shields falling off - Toyota 4Runner Forum

Heat shields are falling off ,Heard a thumping noise underneath and looks and all the bolts are pulling through the shields , tried to save some of them by putting bigger washers on them , If ya want to keep them better do it quick cause the bolts rust and ya can snap the studs off as they look like they are just spot welded to the sheet metal when ya try to remove nuts, terrible design Toyota !!!!!! Shame on you !!!!!!!
