Jimny unions (the hollow bolt part) are threaded right to the end. "Normal" motor-factors ones are plain for the last 3mm so they won't actually screw into anything.
If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

Meanwhile I was so fed up with people staring and pointing at the GRAUNCH-GRAUNCH-GRAUNCH noise that I got the jack out, took the wheel off, and bent the disc dustsheild away from the disc.
Why do they start touching when nothing hits them???

You already had 2 on the old pipe 
I don't know what they call the fully threaded ones, but you can buy them on eBay easily enough.
