OK so we are installing my ball joint spacers on my buddy's truck and snap! 2 bolts broken. where can i find the correct bolts or can i just go to the hardware store and match some up? should of stopped at 33lbs, bolts were not new though.

Try a hardware store first, If not 4crawler or SDORI..

same thing happened to me. mine kept breaking off because of the angle that the spacers would sit in the a-arm, i just reemed out the bolt holes with a drill.
where'd you get the spacers?

If you go to the hdwr store be sure to get grade 8's

Damn, now those are some bolts (assuming the 4 connecting the spacer and balljoint) you don't want to break.

Hardware store or a specialty bolt store. I got a store about 10 minutes from me that specializes in selling bolts and nuts, ha. Guess im lucky... but everytime i need em they're effing closed it seems heh

I'd just tighten the other 2 more and maybe smear on some JB weld


Really good idea to listen to the torque specs. I'm glad they broke on you, for your own safety. If you overtighten a bolt, you weaken it and it could break on while driving possibly causing you to lose control.
