Please read carefully through the question posed. As you can see, the question doesn't take a position one way or the other. It's asking for background on their choices and opinions on the benefits of following the manual and drawbacks of using traditional methods. A summary of my personal opinion is in post #10.

P.S. When someone opens with "not to be rude but...", you can be sure they intend to be rude. I'm not intimidated by such remarks. So no, I won't sit down and shut-up. |
the only thing I feel strongly about is no one is sure which way is correct. I feel as the two GM master techs I have spoken with share my sentiments. My statement about “not to be rude” was intended to be exactly that as my intention is not to hijack this post. There is a great deal of information in this post which is important to fasteners, TTY, and the necessity for replacement. Also, there is a bit of uneeded worry. Not one of the guys that intended to replace these TTY fasteners left an alignment shop with new bolts. I have 800 miles on track post alignment with factory bolts, and I have had no issues. My posts are friendly not hostile, and I welcome any useful information. Intimidation certainly was not part of the plan. Anyone who has read my posts in the past can attest to that fact.
