What turned up in the post today

2 schools of thought....

1. 10.9 might be stronger than 8.8 but are more brittle... so as opposed to bending in an bump, they could shear...
2. pattern parts can sometimes be of iffy quality, and its been known for bolts to say 10.9 but not actually be anywhere near that strength

I would have thought its the bottom arm thats more likely to bend on a big impact rather than the ball joint bolts giving way, unless its had the strengthening plates welded in I guess.

I'm liking the old school tool set Rich, how old is it and where would something like that originate from?

Its a genuine Vauxhall toolkit, I have a Vauxhall accessories brochure somewhere with it in from the late 80's
