Hello, I am replacing the ball joints, tie rods, and sway bar links on my 88 240. My only concern is that the ball joint kit came with 3 replacement bolts where the ball joint connects the the control arm, but they are all standard hex bolts, and 2 of the bolts on the control arm and bolts pressed into a plate. Is it OK to replace these bolts with standard hex bolts? Also, having a hard time getting one of the tie rods out of the knuckle...any tips? Thanks!
