Well, first a story....I went to NAPA to get some small parts for the build. They had the rear U-joint in stock but didn't have the U-bolts for the lower A-arm. I was going to have them order it but shipping was going to cost more than the bolts. Looked around but couldn't find them cheaper so I went back to the NAPA to order them. Walked in and the guy I talked to was there. He says wait one minute...walks to the back, and presents me with the u-bolts. He had them transfered at No charge and had saved them for me. $8 for the four (CPP wants around 60 shipped for these) They are 9/16 so I will have to enlarge the saddle holes, but I wanted the larger ones. Thought that was cool of him to do in today's business world of poor customer service

U-bolts
