    Curious if others think its fine to reuse for a bit, I'll likely tag it on to a future order and drive as is for a while.
    Still on the originals and reused many times. I did order new ones recently, but have not got around to putting them in, probably won't for a while. The original bolts still look fine and I think they are 10.9 grade.

      Thanks, I'll probably order some just because but thinking the bolts are likely fine, these likely see minimal if any stretch.

        For whatever reason my strut brace bolts are always coming just loose enough to creak when it's loaded up. Perhaps there's some merit to replacing them after a few uses.
