Axle end LCA bolt holes

[XJfanatic]

Has anyone else that swapped lower control arms noticed that the axle end bolt holes are square?

What purpose does this serve? I am thinking this is just to ease manufacturing/assembly.

Nobody else finds it odd to put a round peg in a square hole?

I JUST replaced my front LCAs this week and honestly didnt even notice if it was a square hole (which seems odd). And at 190ft lbs of torque, I am not pulling them off and checking, sorry.

Yeah I don’t blame you, those bolts are a pain. I initially didn’t notice until I was taking a break and looked at the back side of the nut, it had a square stain.

Apparently it was a thing on the JK too
