shearing bolts and shafts

[vwscir88@hotmail.com (The Hitman)]

  does vw have a problem using weak metals? for the second time in as many 
months i've sheared off the shaft going into my outer cv joint. when i asked 
about this the first time around noone seemed to have had the happen to them 
before, but now i've done it twice. also noticed my volts were running a 
lil' low on my gauge so i pooped the hood to check the alternator and found 
my belt was loose. why was it loose? the top "adjuster" bolt was shorn off. 
fortunatly i had a spare alternator for a quick swap no i can extract the 
broken bolt at my leisure. but still does anyone else have these kind of 
stupid problems?
