suspension Bolt question, this will sound ghetto
So, I've finally finished removing/taking apart all the suspension stuff for my bushing install, probably 6-7 bolts needed to be cut out because the bolt and the bushing metal insert were welded together with rust.
now, i already bought 2 new bolts from honda for the front, and I need the 6 more for the rear, should I pay $10 (that's in CDN dollars) each at honda? or is getting something at the hardware store ok? I would imagine these bolts are a stronger metal then the hardware store bolt, that and the suspension bolts all seem have a tapered end ad some grooves on the body of the bolt. I just thought I would ask incase. Spending $60 on bolts is not exactly something I want to do unless I have to, then I will. |

Haha, we have used a teflon based type hose that fit into the where the old bushings fit and then another metal insert inside of the hose with hardware store bolts holding it all together. It was suppossed to be a , hey, it's sunday and there is no place to get bushing's fix, but it has been that way for a looooong time 8)

make sure you get grade 8 or 9. grade 5 ( i think thats the common hard ware one) will be alot weaker.
