Don't assume the arms come from AAD torqued to spec. I double checked on my end during my install and they were close, but not at spec. That could potentially be why you are not seeing threads poke through.
That's definitely a possibility. The images above LOOK to be post installation, but I suppose they could still be in pre-tightened status. Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to give 'em a glance after it's all buttoned up regardless. I'd imagine losing clamping force at speed would be somewhat messy.

I hear ya, not my car. These are my arms torqued to spec.

Yep, did mine with the wheels on the car. Tech said he set the alignment to my requested spec, then put in the tabs that fit that alignment. Seemed brilliant to me.
