the bolts that hold my upper a-arm on have streched/stripped and i need to replace them. is this a hugh job? i went to my local tire/suspension place and they wont do it cause of the bags, went to another place and they want $150 w/alignment. and they said it will happen again cause of the bags. when i did the bags i had to heat up these bolts to get the nuts off, could that have weakend the bolts?

i could be wrong, but i would think you could just got buy some grade 8 bolts from home depot or where ever and replace them

yup he def can. If you have a tough time finding the size go to a good hardware store, they'll have a better selection. heating them wouldn't weaken them, just an older vehicle, shit goes bad.

doesent heat weaken all steel?

 

[Physh1]

Yes, heating them will weaken them. How much? Depends on how much you heat it...lol. I'd bet that it's a pretty good guess that when you heated them you weakened them. BTW, penetrating oil works wonder on nuts and bolts:read:. Much easier and safer than heat.

:word: to what Cameron said. :read:

Did you order replacement bolts or factory style knockouts? A set of bolts will work fine but I would recommend the latter. :bowtie:

 

[BeerMonkeY]

well in the blowup pic in lmc it showed regular bolts but i got them today and they are the factory style
