Default Random Bolt Question

Are there different grades of bolts? If so, what kind should be used for suspension stuff, such as for the control arms and sway bar?

Thanks

Yes, grades differ by application. Check the shop manual for specifics.

For anything thats important (like suspension) I use grade 8 bolts. They are the strongest.
