Bolt length
IVA all booked for next Wednesday. Just looking over the car to make sure everything is ok.
I'm a little bit worried about the length of this bolt. Is it long enough?
There will be some pictures of the car to follow shortly!

I thought it was 1 1/2 turns visible?

Don't think that will be long enough for Mr IVA. Are all the suspension bolts the same?
Looking at the washer it looks quite thick so you might get away with a thinner washer either side to gain some thread. Might be a cheaper and
quicker fix than replacing all the bolts.

Looks too short to me. I had to replace all the bolts mk supplied to 5mm longer ones. Search for thread protrusion on here.

Are washers needed on them at all?
