[QUOTE="JorgeS, post: 28294, member: 12094"] Most fasteners are pretty standard, but if you buy from a hardware store, or from an on-line place, make sure you match the grade. In case you're not familiar with grades, metric fasteners have a stamping on the head (i.e.: 8.8, 10.9, etc). These indicate the strength of the fastener. It's usually OK to replace with one that has a higher number stamped (replace an 8.8 with a 10.9), but never replace with a lower number; this can be critical on certain locations, like suspension.
