You mean grade 8 bolts - no, you should get bolts from Ford or a parts store if they even carry them.

correct never use grade 8 , they shear instead of bend, never use them in a sterring application either. How many time I have seen trucks in the middle of the trail with broken grade 8 hardware [Roll Eyes]
