Title: strut to spindle bolts
Post by: mcb82gt on May 17, 2011, 11:41:25 AM
Do you guys reuse them, or buy new every time?  Mine are assumed to be original, but look fine.:shakeass:

I've always reused mine but I could be wrong on the issue.  I've also never had a problem.  I never had any corrosion on them.

I've always reused them. Sometimes I use a little LocTite, sometimes I don't.  Never had an issue.

Same here on the reuse...I look the threads over pretty good though.

I have had to replace them before but only on ones that were heavily rusted.
