do these need to be replaced? i soaked mine an brushed them clean today. an how tight should they be tightned down to.

Re: where to find u-bolts for the lower control arms?
 

the threads like to get galled on the outsides, they seam to open up

Re: where to find u-bolts for the lower control arms?
 

I've taken mine off a few times. Just threw them in a vice and tightened them down to get them to go back in. Torque specs can prob be found via search. I tightened mine down to about eeerrghh ftlbs :lol: if the threads are fine then you should be good to go otherwise they are cheap and cheap reassurance at that

Classic parts should have the cross shafts as well and the studs. Just about everything for the front suspension which is nice.
