Is it the same rule with bolts as sockets. As in black bolts are a stronger like black sockets are impact?

No as they have number stamped on top, that silver one looks to be a slightly different pitch, place one thread over the over and check that over 1" they sit inside each other all the way along to be sure

I've bought loads of new nuts and bolts from this place

I think the genral tensile strength in the automotive side is 8.8 and they even offer stainless with this strength.

Same pitch then lol where are you using these? 10.9 type are stronger if needed for engine/suspension work

Steering rack mate. Will it be ok?

Next question. The long bolt that holds the passenger side bottom arm, is it backwards thread? So undoes the other way?

Reason I ask is because the drivers side come off real easy. Passenger side is a propper pig
