<VV> Suspension tale

[Frank DuVal]

I would not use "any old bolt", but any old bolt with the same diameter, 
at least as long and a nut that fits it. If the car is not being moved, 
any hardness version should work.

While this sounds safer, I find it easier to have the car level when up 
in the air for work underneath. I do like redundant jackstands. And the 
wooden blocks I made make the car stable up in the air compared to small 
jackstands.
