I had to cut one of the bolts while changing a front control arm.
I installed a high grade bolt in replacement but it's a tiny bit thinner. The diameter is 0.97 mm smaller (0.038 inches) than the original bolt.
I torqued it down and drove it around and it's holding up with no issues, no torque steer or alignment problem.
Is that any cause for concern and should I just leave it?
