Ball joint bolt kit

[rocco16v at netzero.net (L F)]

If I were set on taking the "chipazz" route, I'd at least go to McMaster-Carr,  buy the Class 12.9 Metric Socket-head Cap Screws in 8mm, drill out the holes to accept the 8mm items (AS REQUIRED), then drive down the road with satisfaction/peace of mind....knowing that you have second-guessed the engineers (which some of us are compelled to do), saved money (not really, but....), and DONE IT YOURSELF.
 If McMaster-Carr doesn't appeal to you, go along with Dan and Ron.

  Yeah, nothing worse than a front wheel flopping around...get the dealer stuff.
