I removed one of the grade 5 bolts out easily to take over to copper state to buy a grade 8 replacement. I’m thinking that I will put some medium strength locative when I put it back in. It’s hard for me to get under the car frequently to check if it is loosening. Thinking to put moderate torque on them. Looking for a real number to use. 33 foot pounds is what some of the look ups suggest.
