I have the whole rear and front suspension with Ti bolts.There is a mixture
of GR8 and grade 5 bolts. The front arms are grade 8 and above, the back suspension is a mix! The cross shafts GR5, all moving suspension components GR8 and above. I have not had any break maybe do to proper torque and aircraft quality of fasteners, forged heads, rolled threads and proper head rad. shank lg's. I buy longer bolts to accommodate the longer shank (straight portion) with shorter fine threads. Then cut to proper lg., with 7075 aluminum lock nuts. These bolts are only used in shear, no tension applications. Just remember over torque will be their demise in any usage, along with under torque and loosening! The reasoning I went with these is I hate rust from std. fasteners. The reason I went with them is the majority of bushings were riding on the threads, not the shanks of the std. bolts, which was just destroying the bushings. The std. bolts are CL2 threads and are undersized creating more slop when riding on threads. The weight gain is just a bonus, and they do not corrode and have 3A threads and shanks for tighter fitment. Just make sure to use moly-lube on threads so they will not gall or locktite if you do not want to loosen with less torque. Mike
