Has anyone heard of a 'joust' bolt?

Yea, was just reading about the jounce bumper, which doesn't seem to be held by a bolt. However, some indicate that the cup holding the bumper is held with a bolt.
Yet, the possibility that the dealer mistorqued a bolt last time and just fixed it now is also valid.

I will be re-torquing all the bolts to spec myself sometime soon.

Thanks guys for all the input, always appreciated!

So, looks like the jounce holder cup has a bolt that should be torqued to 31 Ft. Lbs. I wonder if that's what they replaced. Yet again, not sure why and how that bolt would break, unless they had to take it out for some reason during lift install... which doesn't sound a necessary step... oh well.
