Yep. One thing to check is that the bolt has the correct shoulder, and that you're not confusing metric hardness grades with standard grades. I.e. a standard grade 8 bolt, would equal a metric 10.X grade.

most of nuts and bolts you need to replace should still be available at you local mazda dealership. i replaced almost all of the nuts and bolts on my entire suspension and brake system and going to the dealership parts store will save you such a headache.
