Replacing one of the nuts that goes on the lower arm to cross member bolt.
There are 3 DOTS on it (so appears). Was this an older version of the "tics" or "lines" meaning Grade 5? I stopped in Fastenal today thinking, "ok, I will lay it out there and let them know I am an idiot, they are the pros, right?".
HA
He let me leave with two different nuts, complimentary, but he even seemed unsure of the grade of the ones he was GIVING me. The ones he gave me have no markings?
Maybe I am over analyzing, but I just want to make sure I am putting safe hardware under the car. Checked the parts manual and the numbers that it lists for the nuts give no hits on the interweb. I don't want to assume just because a nut is BIG that it is STRONG enough.
(also going back to check my work on the ball joints. The hardware PST sent me didn't thread together, even by hand, so I substituted some other stuff)
