[s-cars] Suspension bolts rating?

[Linus Toy]

Saving money and Tacoma Screw in the same sentence...something doesn't jive  ;)

For you non-locals, this is not a total pun (though I've often wondered about
that name)...Tacoma Screw is definitely NOT the low cost supplier, though they
often have stuff others don't.
