Default Whiteline ALK Nuts and Washers

Any reason that i can't use the standard ones already fitted? I have bought a kit secondhand but the nuts and washers are absent, do i need to get replacement ones from a Whitline dealer?

I'd like to know this too, as I have the ALK kit to go on, and that hasn't got any nuts and washers with it...

i think it will be ok to just use replacements but i would buy hi tencile bolts 8.8 rated i think or probably stainless steel, these will be much stronger & longer lasting. hth's

There are no bolts in the kit, just a pair of M16 Nyloc nuts and 2 chamfered washers:

I think that the original ones are plenty strong enough, seeing as they are strong enough for the standard car. I spoke to the distributors of Whiteline parts in the UK and they said not to bother about getting any of their bits "as long as the washers cover enough of the bush on the ALK"

Am going to go with the original stuff, as soon as i can find a torque wrench big enough!
