I helped my daughter do a brake job on her 17 Escape. The caliper bracket bolts required torquing. Reused the front bolts no problem. However, one of the rears deformed well below the required torque value. The others were was ok. Bought new bolts from the Ford dealer. 6 in a pack. After two of those deformed well below the required torque value I tightened the next one to about 5 ftlbs below where the others started to deform. (Front bolts are a different size than the rears.)
