:lol:
If ya finish THAT by tomorrow, I've both A.S.T.M. and S.A.E. tomes here I'll loan ya, Vince. Both are multiple volumes, but shipping's on your *nickel*. :smirk:
...funny we don't have a coin called: "chrome", innit?
Basic info is:
1) If ya hit it with a grinder and it sparks, it ain't "Stainless".
2) If ya put a magnet to it and it attracts, it ain't "Stainless".
HTH!
<span style="font-style: italic"> EDIT: That's kinda simplistic, as LEAD would pass those "tests", so beware. If it's dull grey, it's LEAD!!! </span>

"Should 18-8 be used on suspension?"
In a word - no. Stainless fasteners are not high tensile strength fasteners and should not be used on the suspension.
Cheers,
