lower control arm bolts WTF?!?!

[niklid05]

ok well i finally got them these bastards out it took a busted right eye brow and about an hour to an hour and 15 each to get them out, so about 2 hours and a teaspoon of blood each. anyway, I sent my friend to the local ford dealership while i was at work and she gave me a paper that the guy wrote down how much it would cost and the p/n. I thought maybe 30 dollars for four bolts and nuts. They wanted $80.28 for four ****ing nuts and bolts!!!!!! WTF! does that sound right?!?! IF it does holy ****. If you got them a lot cheaper please let me know where you got them. thanks. 80.28 for bolts god damn!

Try getting them from Greens, they should be much cheaper.

what is greens?lol. Is that a hardware chainstore or an online store or something? Would home depot have them maybe a local hardware store??

 

[niklid05]

I got my upper control arm bolts at Walker Hardware, its a small local store. I get all my the nuts and bolts I need there because its a lot easier than trying to get them at Home Depot or Lowe's. So just go to your local hardware store and get them, I got grade 8 bolts for mine. Ace Hardware should have them too if thats what is local for you.

yea theres one in town; napa, lowes, and homedepot. I guess I will try them by distance lol. Will they have 10.9 I would like to go with factory strength(that sounds wierd together in one sentence, factory and strength.) They say 10.9 on the bolt head. thanks guys.

Go to a hardware store and get grade 8 bolts in the size and thread you need. Shouldn't be very expensive.

why do you need new bolts?

sounds like he had to destroy the old ones to get them out.
