My question is I bought some bolts from Home Depot and one of the guys there was saying that those bolts aren't obviously made for cars suspension and aren't up to spec. Will I have any issues or should I order some OEM bolts? I mean these bolts seem pretty tough but what do ik.

Order the correct bolts.....most bolts at HD are Grade 2 or 8.8. There might be some Grade 5, but if you don't know what you have you need to order the correct ones
