Bolts are made of metal little girls, it isn't a big mystical thing. If the threads turn in okay without binding and the bolt hasn't been stretched, it will be fine.

Uhhhhh................ the same that it was before??? Brian, I probly could have fixed that bolt for you at work if you came in earlier ;) . Is the car on the road yet?

BTW, Peter, locktite and grease are not the same thing.

No but they will both protect the bolt from rust and also keep it from seizing. I like grease as it sheilds from water.

No No No, you are all wrong.The correct way is to get a pneumatic impact wrench, the bolt will thread right in.

That bolt was just a swaybar endlink bolt, and I needed a longer one anyway, I bought a universal polyurethane endlink bushing kit, and every bushing is about 1/8" of an inch taller, so the stock bolt is not long enough.

The car was on the road, and it turns out my rear differential isolators are completely trashed, it was supposed to be a brick of rubber sandwhiched between 2 pieces of metal, my brick of rubber on both sides is completely seperated from the bottom piece of metal, so my differential is literally just sitting on its support, nothing holding it down at all, so the clunking noise was the diff rising up 3 inches and slamming down on the support.

Oh well, easy fix, and for $140, not terribly expensive, and it could be much worse if it was the differential itself.
