24 GT Ford Performance Track Springs Install

[TheGrabberBlueGT2024]

Does anyone have a list of what bolts are one time use from a service manual? I have found entire kits, but I need to know what bolts specifically are one time use when going from stock springs front and rear to ford performance so that I can order the appropriate items.

Ford for legal reasons lists All Suspension bolts and nuts as Remove and Discard in the service manual.

They show you a nice pretty picture of that.

I have re-installed the original bolts once and never had a problem but that doesn't mean the bolts wont eventually snap or the nuts work loose ...

So is it just the strut to wheel spindle nuts? Nothing else is one time use?​

Ford sez Every Bolt and Nut are single use.

Sounds like loctite it is.

2004-2006 GTOs are the same way, nearly every bolt is listed as one-time use, especially the ones with loctite on them from the factory. The best explanation we got it at that GM would rather have a mechanic install a new bolt with factory loctite on it than cleaning the original bolt and re-applying loctite. I've only replaced a couple bolts out of caution, the rest were re-used and fresh loctite installed.
