Hello everyone.

When doing my suspension work, I'm going to replace a lot of the rusty corr=
oded bolts under there with new ones.  I have the prices from the dealer, b=
ut can save a good $80/90 by going to a local industrial supplier (Tacoma S=
crew).  I have the head size, length, and thread pitch for all the bolts I =
need, but need the proper rating for these bolts.

Are they an 8.8 or 10.9???

I am assuming 8.8 as they are softer and will stretch vs. 10.9, which altho=
ugh, harder is more brittle and more likely to break.

BTW, I am still getting the subframe (stretch) bolts from the dealer, but f=
igure the others I can get elsewhere and same some money.

Or, is there any other reason for me to get all these from the dealer as we=
ll?

Later,
Dan
