Two different dealers, retail as far as I know. I don't "shop" pricing at that level, every retailer has to make money to stay open.

I was wondering why I had to dumb it down too. Next time I’ll draw you a picture.

Next time maybe you'll learn to communicate instead of simply blurting out stuff like "I got it cheaper" without explaining the where and the how.

You know. Things that might actually benefit the other readers.

Just had the same thing happen on mine - loose nut on the sway bar. Very strange.

You guys should just save your money.

The torque specs would never stretch bolts of that size/grade.

The reason they tell you to replace them is simply because some have factory loctite applied or nylock nuts. Clean the threads and use blue loctite.

FWIW, the brake caliper bolts are also supposed to be one time use, again because they come with factory loctite on the threads. The torque spec is nothing for the size of the bolt.
