Hey everybody,

Thanks to this awesome site, and the great information and how to's I've found, in a few days I'll be replacing the radius arm bushings on my 92' Eddie bauer. Which is not only a huge step into the world of dyi for me but a very exiting one as well. It seems that a previous owner had already replaced the bushings because there are already bolts where the factory rivets would be located and no heat shield on the passenger side ( Which I think is why it looks like pancake ). What I'm concerned about are if the current bolts are Grade 8. Is there a way of finding out, or should they be replaced to be on the safe side, regardless? TM:salute:

Awesome, Thanks, They do have the six Radial lines. They also have the letters JH stamped in the center of the markings, not sure if that is of any significance. Appreciate it.

JH is the manufacturer, Jinn Her Enterprise Co. Ltd. in Taiwan.
