Default Get the right nuts!

Bought the bolts and nuts to do the trackbars and control arms about an hour ago. Got my stuff taken off, pictures taken of bad bushing, then started my install...

I bought all coarse thread nuts and fine thread bolts.

Make sure you get the right stuff so you don't have to borrow your neighbor's truck to run back up to Ace Hardware.

Just use coarse threaded nuts and bolts. Just apply superglue liberally to the threads and they wont' come off!

I Got 'em!

9/16 x 18 threaded Grade 8 nuts.

They're not "fine" thread per say, but they are alot nicer than the 14mm x 12 threaded bolts that are stock.

Ya, I decided to learn what was in the kit and I couldn't wait for shipping since I'm driving 250 miles back home tonight. And I saved a few bucks, costed ~$36.00.

Typically you get free shipping with Dave, so the $40 for the kit can save your gas money if the store is out of your way.
