wishbone bolts
do the wishbone bolts have to be specific bolts or will any with the same pitch and length do? the garage used an air ratchet and have threaded and bent the bolts. cheers peeps.

Don't use high tensile bolts for suspension components.
The idea with low tensile bolts is that they bend instead of snapping.

If your hitting something hard enough to snap a 12.9 grade bolt then you have much bigger things to worry about
not sure on price would need to know the sizes to work it out

high tensile is more brittle,you want a soft bolt so it can 'move' and not just snap.
i bet if you put high tensile bolts on you would snap them.
