Has anyone seen this before? Top hat stud on brand new bilstein 8112 DSA+ sheared off after torquing to 33ft/lbs and driving for approx 60 miles. Is this fixable or is this potentially a warranty claim ? Real big pain in the ass either way as this is my daily driver and I’m pretty sure the top hat is a part of the strut and not a seperate piece. Any advice is appreciated.

It's fixable, you can drive a new stud through...but I would warranty the coilover. 8112s are not cheap.
