I know that stainless nuts and bolts shouldn't be used on wishbones, dampers etc but is it ok to use them on ARB mounting brackets?

Thanks

Thanks for your replies on this.

On the HT comments, I'm sure I have read somewhere that HT bolts shouldn't be used for suspension, something to do with having a bang and the chassis bending rather than the bolt?

Edited to add; theres nothing about using HT bolts in the bolts wiki.

2nd Edit...I'm getting confused the advice was not to use very hight tensile bolts, I did order HT bolts grade 8.8.
