[cj8990]

i wanna replace my suspension bolts as i put it back together.. what bolt grade to get from home depot??

 

[badbluething]

why not just take your original bolts with you to home depot. their always able to help me match them.

Grade8 grade 10 and grade 12 depending on what bolt. You probably wont find them at home depot. I got mine from the dealer. In sure jnz could get them for cheaper for you

Go order new OEM. Hardware store stuff is junk, and the OEM isn't much more expensive.

When i re-did the bushings for the rear end suspension, my factory hardware had rusted so bad i had to sawzall the long bolts to get the old stuff out. Well, found out the hard way that mitsu doesnt sell some of those long bolts anymore. So after trying to hunt up decent fasteners at various hardware stores, i ended up calling arp and gave them the specs i needed,... they were very helpfull and ended up using toyota 22r head studs and nuts to bolt my rear suspension together. Im sure they would accommodate any bolt/nut you need

This is what I would do.

Or go to a dedicated fastener company. The guys that only sale nuts, bolts, washers, etc.
We have them all over the place up here.

+1. Fastenal.

With that said, my DIY rear camber kit was pure Lowes and I survived.

You have to make sure they're zinc coated correct?
Otherwise they will rust?
