[QUOTE="Snoopy49, post: 15373072, member: 138649"] I noticed the same thing on the panhard bar and brace. My guess is that Ford must assume that the suspension parts are being removed because of an accident and don't want to take responsibility for unseen damage on the hardware causing a future failure. Plus there is no way the mechanic can be sure that the fastener hasn't been over torqued in the past. Having said that, I reused the fasteners in my panhard bar and brace installation. I bought my car new, it's never been damaged and it has never been in the shop for service, so I am confident that the used parts were viable. This is were the known history comes into play. If I had bought my car used, I would have replaced the recommended hardware, but that's just the aircraft mechanic in me. [/QUOTE]
