The pretty green-tinged jobs I've got in front of me say 10.9.  Cool.  HBL Audi
had 'em on the shelf (at a bargain price of $2.51 each no less.)  The other
bolts I need to replace are the inner control arm bolts, tehy have 8.8 on 'em.
 Any local hardware store should have those right?  (HBL didn't have these, nor
the nutz for the ball-joint bolt.)
