Suspension Installation Warning!!!!
Installed Tein Flex's Today
Rear lower sway bar end link bolts will snap. They will not hand tighten w/ wrenches. They must not be reusable! Replace them w/ new grade 10.9 fasteners. |

Bolts are no different than those on an 08+ Impreza. Have done countless suspension and swaybar installs on those and have never had that problem.
You are right though. Pretty much all the nuts in the suspension are self-locking and technically supposed to be one-use only. Last edited by jamal; 07-05-2012 at 12:40 AM. |

I couldn't even remotely get them tight. I'm either a beast or this is a localized incident.

Did anyone notice you can keep tightening without it stopping?
