Blaine, give me a hint?
Where is this joint on the car? Is it the rear lower control arms?
What are you attaching to them?
We need to know the intended load on the bolts in pounds.
Depending on where the bolt is used you need to decide what you want to fail. If the bolt doesn't shear then the control arms will bend and fail.
If you load the component to that level then you are going to not be in a very good situation.
Do you have an ejection seat with a chute?
