I too thought, that but it appears upon a closer examination that the

happened by the looks of the situation - high loading upon first few threads!
Could the washer(s) have caused this? More than likely.

Yeah you're probably right, the diameter does look a bit smaller on that end now. Too much torque on too few threads.
