But I’ve been driving at Sebring. Which is extra hard on suspension parts. Homestead is hard on our OEM windshields ?

For fuck's sake, never re-use TTY bolts!

They lose 25-30% holding capacity if installed again. Would you re-use TTY bolts when installing a cylinder head? NEVER. So it's the same mindset with the major chassis components, and it's even worse to re-use them on stiffer, upgraded mounts, because even more load forces are transmitted to the bolts without the gummy rubber to dampen it. It's basically a downgrade at that point. The notion of subjecting them to maximum stress on a track compounds the issue.

Bite the bullet, buy the replacement fasteners.

EDIT: Mark, those part numbers are for the FRONT subframe. Aren't you looking for the rear?

Why I asked (& was told I should get them). U da man ?

Yeah, I looked up the rear (or so I thought?!?)…. Will do just that! Replace em ?

I‘ve seen on the tracking part of the forum, guys talking about not if but when they will go. It certainly won’t hurt. Just buy the cheap replacement bolts to put back in when you drop the subframe ?
