Default Escort Suspension

Can I reuse the Bolts on the Wishbone to Sub-frame on Escort Suspension, The reason I ask is that the manual says use Torque to Yield when re-tightening which implies that they need to be stretched and when you do this with head bolts thay can only be used once, however normally if you need to use new bolts the manual would state this which in this case it does not

You can reuse them no problem............but take a look at the nylock nut to see if it's in good condition, if not - I would replace it with a new one.

I think the reason for the torque setting is so that you dont over-tighten and bend or crack the alloy cross-member lugs.
