Now that I have received the bulk of the suspension parts, I am under the impression that a few components can not or should not be reused(strut spindle bolts/nuts comes to mind). Are there any other one-time use components that I may need for the complete install? Thanks in advance.

 

Just did mine yesterday and the spindle bolts are all that's recommended. I ended up reusing mine and was able to get to the correct torque spec. Then again my car only had 2500 miles

 

Getting to the torque isn't the problem bud.... its the holding power of the component is no longer in spec

 

Anyone have the part # handy for the spindle bolts?

 

-Strut-To-Wheel Spindle Bolt(2 Required per Strut) [Part # W714652]
-Strut-To-Wheel Spindle Flagnut(2 Required per Strut) [Part # W714653]

 

Thank you sir.

 

who's Bud?

 

Really........

 

Any place online we can get these? I am deployed and trying to have all my parts ready for when I get home.

 

I ordered mine from Tousley Ford.

 

Thank you.

 

Never heard of anyone using the stockers with a failure.

 

Cheap insurance....

 

This. Some of those parts are only designed to be torqued to spec one time. If you remove them it's best to replace them with new parts. It's cheap and you know you're good to go for as long as you keep those struts on the car. :tup:

 

You can reuse them with no problem.

 

Perhaps you can, but it's cheap insurance to replace them.

 

Not so cheap if you're changing things around to tweak alignment settings or to try different parts with any sort of frequency. I reused them when installing my current suspension, and will reuse them again when I return to stock springs in the next couple of months.
