grade eight?



Oops, sorry, a bit vague.  I was referring to the bolt at the bottom of the rear strut.  Which, apparently, I need to change.  :p

Which bolts are you reffering to?  the K abr ones or the giant ones ont the strut assembly, which I thought was special camber bolts anyways.  What size is the ones you are reffering to?

I was curious, so I checked.  Three dashes on the head- so grade-5?  That should be strong enough for the lower strut bolts, right?


Thanks for clearing that up though about stainless hardware.

So if we need really strong corrosion-free hardware, what do we do?

The hardware store misled
you.

Stainless steel bolts are generally (there
are several alloys) rated at min 70,000psi tensile.


Even grade 5 hardware is rated at min 105,000psi
tensile.

Grade 8 is around min 150,000psi
tensile.

There are no grade 8 stainless
fasteners.



Do NOT count on stainless hardware to be

especially strong stuff, guys....it is only more resistant to
corrosion.

I went to the hardware store
and got some grade-8 stainless bolts to go in their

place.
