Lower suspension strut bolts

[mongo_tuned]

Are people changing these when fitting new coilovers/dampers? I know people have had silly quotes from nissan in the past, do they have to be special bolts? or are off the shelf hardware bolts and nuts man enough? cheers

Always re-used the originals & never had a problem.

I'm probably being too anal and wanting to change nuts and bolts when i take old ones off.

Reused mine 3 times now

copper grease ftw then, better hope they dont round off or snap now lol.

iv never had an issue with suspension bolts, or any important bolts tbh on my primera or my old almera, they seem to have used good quality stuff on them, just a shame some of the others are crap and snap as soon as you touch them.

they are £11 EACH from nissan if you want them though

oh that was cheaper than i thought, anyways put the rear coilovers on today the bolts came out easy as pie and will do again thanks to copper grease.

just enetrating oil them up before hand for 10 minutes undo them!
if you gonna be anal get a wire brush wheel on a bench grinder and clean them up!

copper grease before re applying them to the car!

jobs as good as a 14 year old!
