Hey, if you can save a buck on the cost of a car times a million cars. That's a chunk of change in some execs pocket.

i remember working on K cars and L bodies when they were new.
when they first were built the bumper energy absorbers, similar to suspension shocks, had 4 bolts holding them on each end. after a couple of years it was changed to 3. at the end of their life there was only 2 bolts holding them on.
later i read that removing 1 bolt saved Chrysler $200,000.
