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.
