A arm bolts

There was a thread not long ago about checking the A arm bolts for possible problems. Which bolts were in question? The bolts that screw into the cradle?

I checked a couple of the cradle bolts and they seemed okay.

Just wondering.

When tight, the bolts protrude into the crossmember cavity, where the exposed threads can get crusty. To reduce the chances of breaking off a bolt while trying to remove it from the crossmember (my worst experience working on my old Mk II Tiger), reach a finger thru the access holes beforehand and smear oil on the threads.
