I guess I am hard on my rig

They appear to have been over torqued. Just because you can still crank on a nut, does not make it right. Thread stretch is an important part of the equation, thus the reason there are limits and requirements on Tolerances. I suspect the reason for the bolted U Clamp was/is to hold it in place. Have the installer go a little less on this with the impact wrench, as they are not the same tolerances as Wheel Studs. I have struggled many times to remove a lug nut because some monkey got a little nuts with the impact wrench. Thus creating a weak fatigue that over time fails.

That would have been the Lance Dealership, Bonessa Bros in Gilroy (now Closed) Les Schwab uses a torque wrench for everything and they are doing the repair

Sounds like a good start. But I would mention to LS that the possibility of the earlier failure, by the previous installer, was over torqueing. A little heads up for LS never hurts. Sometimes you can put too much weight on reputation, like the best Kidney Surgeon in the region that operated on me. Then to find out later, during the MRI, that they operated on the wrong one. Imagine my disappointment. Things happen.
