Replacing my shock's upper bolts today.
Ya'll will hate me but mine came out with no issues whatsoever. Didn't even PB blast them lol.
I picked up some 10.9 bolts, but just read somewhere that factory used Grade 5.
I know 10.9s aren't as soft as 5s but aren't as brittle as 8s.
Did I get the right kind of bolt?
Also I've read they're supposed to be torques to 85 ft/lbs.
Mine couldn't have been more than 50 lbs at best.
I'm going to put a dab of anti seize on them to prevent probs in the future, but what should I actually torque them to??
Got a nice wrench and I love precision.
Anyone?
