Just went outside and looked at mine it's a grade 5. And looks a little bent also a grade 8 probley would not bend but could possably break since it's a harder metal. I don't see where being a little bent will hurt anything.

Go with a Grade 8, or Modquads personal favorite.................TITANIUM!!!!

 

ahhhhhhh yes the TITANIUM.. sounds good to me.

Yes, if you don't go with the titanium, go with the grade 8 bolts.

 

id change it now... if you dont it wont be easy getting it out when its really bent...
just changed the one on my pred to a grade 8 also...
