Ok so I picked up the washers at Lowes yesterday and I ordered the new axles today. Now I'm wondering if I got the right washers. A member gave me a link for the washer and after about a half hour of looking I found it. For some reason I remember from looking on the Galant Tuner site Shadows fix for that and 1/8 is sticking in my head. The washers I got say 3/4 could they be wrong? I'm gonna go get the washers now and take pics and post them. More help would be appreciated. Cuz I don't wanna dremel the washers if there not the right ones. I'm gonna start the work on Monday so I got the weekend after a nice night of partying tonight to get it right.

Thanks in advance!!!

Im not to sure about this but Ive had people tell me its not such a good idea to purchase nuts and bolts and such from a hardware store, for your vehicle. Someone told me, the hardware they sell at Lowe`s and Home depot, is basically made for construction use only. They are not made to withstand the vibrations that occur on your vehicle, so they are more prone to break. The ones they sell at an auto parts store are made differently and are designed to handle the vibrations.

This is just some info someone shared with me, personally i don't think its a bad idea lol

not necessarily this is when the saying you get what you pay for comes in.
it can be the same bolts from same manufacturer just packet differently. just choose carefully what you buy and dont be a cheapo when it comes to important car components

So I got the correct ones gonna start work on Monday I'll see if I can take pics. I saw a bunch of different ways to remove the axles so what's the best way to take out the axle I got both replacements already for $96 with tax.
