    Propshaft, driveshaft and subframe bolts and nuts, which can be reused???

    Hi

    I'm refurbishing my entire suspension at the moment and need to know which bolts and nut's I need to order at the dealer...

    I already know the outer cv joint bolts need to be renewed, also all the self locking nuts need to be renewed (for steering links, drop links and such).

    Do I also need to renew the inner cv joint bolts, the propshaft bolts (rear diff needs new seals), the bolts holding the subframe to the chassis, and the bolts holding the A-arms in to place??? Or can these be reused?

    Is just replace them all!

    Subframe, wishbone, strut bolts are 1 use definitely. Is replace the propshaft bolts while you're there.

    For the small cost of bolts its worth doing properly!

          Ok thanks for the info
          I noticed the cv boot kits I ordered are depicted with bolts so I guess I'll already have those, I think I'll order new bolts from the dealer for the propshaft and subframes...

          Looks like it's going to be quite a large order of bolts, already have a little list of 62 partnumbers , the guys at the audi garage will be happy to collect my order
