Front Strut bracket bolts

[Mechie3]

Manual says to use one front strut bolt and a rear strut bolt in place if the camber bolt. I couldn't find any bolts that were as large as the camber bolt so I bought new OEM rear strut bolts. They're the same size as bts I already had. They all are about 2mm or more smaller diameter than the hole in the knuckle and the strut adapter bracket.

Is this right?

Craig, I had the same issue but I believe my kit had a bigger bolt and nut in the hardware package that wasn't referenced in the instructions. It fit perfectly so that's what I used. Probably the largest nut and bolt in the hardware package.
