Suspension work - 1998 K2500, here’s a proper thread

[TommyJ1980]

If you are still looking for bolts industrial supply companies like MSC and McMaster-Carr carry a large variety of bolts. Just make sure you get the equivalent grade of fastener and I recommend hardened washers when used on suspension. Head type should not mater just use a washer if you can't get a flange head fastener. Yes everything needs to be torqued to factory standards.

Thanks, I appreciate it, I was able to get the same size grade 8 bolt here locally with a lock nut, using the old washer, and threadlocked, tightened to spec. They look pretty good now that they're in place.

Did you intentionally put the ball joint on the other side of the upper control arm?

Good catch. It's right there in plain sight and I just rolled right past the picture and read his post; didn't even notice.
