I'll bet.

A guy I used to work with lowered his Chev S10. He said the entire way to
the alignment shop the tires squealed like a banshee. Gotta phone the
alignment people Monday.

It's going to be interesting trying to find a metric tap. NOBODY has those
last time I checked except the specialty industrial suppply places. I
notice all the bolts are 10x1.25mm. What's the closest Imperial tap size to
that?
