Front lower strut bolt

[BlackSupra]

Happy Sunday everyone!

I installed some Whiteline lowering springs on my 2025 Supra last week. For the front I accidently removed the lower strut bolt thinking it needed to be removed. Unfortunately that wasn't necessary. You can simply pull the strut away from the car and put the springs in.

My questions is, do I need to replace that bolt? I heard from my friend it's one time use. Is it okay to re use it? Will it cause any issues?

Thanks so much!!

Are you talking about this bolt?

He is probably talking about the pinch bolt on the hub where the strut slides in. I've reused mine like 10x now.

Thanks guys, Yes it's the pinch bolt on the hub where the strut slides in. Apparently it's one time use and it's dangerous to reuse it?

Then get a new one if you are worried about it.

If you end up replacing the bolt, get the nut too, if you want to be thorough. If I remember right it's a goofy one, it's like pinched or something and hard to thread on and off like most (I might be remembering something else).

Gotcha thank you, I just ordered it through my dealership. Nut and Bolt. Only around $3. Coming from Kentucky.
