Grade 8 bolts - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

After reading the thread below about the seat mounting hardware it got me thinking about the bolts holding the control arms - Im going to replace the very worn out rubber bushings in my control arms with poly bushings - the nuts and bolts that came with them are grade 5 coarse thread with regular nuts and lock washers which Im sure is what GM used - I bought grade 8 with fine threads and polylok nuts to use in their place - anybody see anything wrong with this idea. TIA:::::::CB
