Default broken steering box bolts

I was installing my new front bumper, and as I was putting the bolts for the steering box back in, the top bolt broke off and I have no idea why. I just would like to know how common this is and if it's ever happened to anyone else.

I strongly recommend the JCR steering box brace. Also comes with good quality bolts...
