Oh, I forgot to mention one thing. I think i stripped my front strut upper 19mm bolts, (the ones used to adjust camber) at 130ft-lbs. It just turns and turns as I try to tighten. I'm not sure if it's the nut or the bolt. I used the new nuts that came with the springs. I didn't have a problem with the lower bolts/nut. But the upper, on both the left and right front struts, the same thing happened. Is it safe to drive on for now? If it's the bolt, where can I get replacements? Does anybody know the exact size/dimensions?
