the sucker king Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 what grade of metric bolt should be used for suspension parts or to secure lift blocks. Hi grades I commonly see are 8.8 and 10.9. Don't know if that suffices or if you need higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLCraig Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Metric class 8.8 is the equivalent to grade 5 and class 10.9 is the equivalent of grade 8. Class 10.9 will be more than enough overkill for your needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the sucker king Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 I could only get 8.8 in the length I needed, this would be for plates that hold the radius rods and tranny x-member. 8.8 good enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 That's perfect. Harder bolts are actually more brittle, and will break rather than bend. Also they'll be more likely to rip threads out of the body nuts. 8.8 is as hard as you want. Better to bend, than break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
