Okay, I digressed, back to topic... I have read both the Haynes and Bentley service manuals (for E36) thoroughly on removing and reinstalling both the front and rear springs. Apparently there are plenty of nuts and bolts related to the mounting of the struts and anti-roll bars that must ALWAYS be changed whenever they have been loosened. I believe these are self-locking nuts/bolts, and they can only be used once per the specs given by BMW. So, my question is: does anyone out there ever re-use those nuts and bolts? I feel like gonna stand there and make sure that they really change those nuts/bolts that have been specified for single usage.</p></blockquote><p></p>
