I hope to be replacing the shock absorbers on my 2005 Mazda 3 this weekend. I have purchased the shocks themselves (Monroe P/N 5607), as well as new mounts. The only thing left to get is new bolts....
From watching this video, I can tell that it is a 17mm bolt. The question is can I just go out and buy any 17mm bolt that is the same length as the current one, or is there some kind of material requirement?
