    Reusing thrust arm bolts

    Anyone reuse the torque angle bolts that holds the tension strut to the subframe. I have an 8 am appointment and didn't realize it was a torque angle bolt. Just need it to hold for a day or two until I get new ones.
    Working on the 325 reminds me how much I LOVED my old Jeep Wrangler. A bus ate it.

    They're not actually TTY stretch bolts. Yes, you can absolutely reuse them.
    Are you gonna eat that?

    Thanks. Bentley manual said new bolts. I know some folks on my (BMW years) Range Rover forum have reused theirs. I just won't have them torqued with angle.

    Agreed. I built a lifted Cherokee years back. So much fun and so easy to work on!
