Checked the master list but it's not on there.

I replaced my Front Left Lower Ball joint and found that my bolts and the nuts are stripped and I don't want them flying off when I'm drifting next weekend.

Does any one have the Size/Length/Thread pitch for these things?

SHoudl I be looking for s specific type due to sheer forces applied to these?

the sooner the better

if they are stripped, why not drill and tap them one size larger? That is the way to do it without using cheezy thread repair anyway.

I went to home depot and got some bolts

I used a 2 ish inch length 12m x1.75 thread pitch bolt which was threaded half way down and then solid near the head.

They ended up being Class 8.8 which equates to Grade 5.

I'm going to Ace Hardware during my lunch to find some Class 10.9(Grade8) bolts.
