Reply to "Suspension pivot bolt loading"

Thanks for the info Mark. I have been searching all over the internet for shear strength and tensile strengths of all sorts of fasteners and joints with some success. I had forgotten ,entirely about those little machinist handbooks. I also have some books from school which would go over a lot of that but would not even know where to start looking for them. That McMaster Carr site is excellent. It looks like I will need to add some beef to those pivots. After some calculations it looks like the 3/8 shoulder bolts will handle a shear of 9,277 lbs where as the 1/2 Grade 5 bolts that Jack Deryke reccomends for the main pivots will handle a shear of 14,730 lbs.
