Sorry, Mike. Yes you do. These bolts are not reusable. Next time around 
align the new one with the old one at one end and observe that the 
cumulative error at the opposite need will be about half the thread 
pitch. These bolts stretch just like the head bolts.

Sorry again, Mike. Once you remove the strut housing you will mess up 
the Camber.
However removing and reinstalling the strut housing is not needed at all 
if you use the special bearing tool as I did in January courtesy of our 
fellow lister and an all around great guy Mark Pollan.
