72 rear spring diff bolts
the 4 bolts tha hold the rear spring to the diff, what grade should they be?
the ones i removed were 3 dash meaning grade 5,
but reading on net people say use grade 8...
i'm confused....
as i'm putting a new spring on to replace my saggy one, the bolts need to be slightly longer as the spring is slightly thicker thru the middle.

Had to go with grade 8 bolts as grade 5 not readily available over the counter here.
Actually pulled it all apart, then realised I needed the longer bolts,
But on Saturday all the industrial supply places are closed....
Being a fitter n turner, I tend to over analyze things.... have measured multiple times already,
And will check again when I mock install....
