Default Broken torque arm bolt

I broke a bolt that holds the torque arm to the transmission. How did this happen?

You must have broke the torque arm mount itself which mounts the torque arm to the transmission. Do you have any pictures of what broke? If you do post them up so we can check them out and help you out.

The torque arm mount looks like its bent from the bottom and the bushing does not align with the bolt hole.

It sounds like it mangled up the factory torque arm mount that bolts to the transmission. If you could take any pictures of the mount I could tell you what is going on for sure.
