Never replaced a wishbone bolt, it's unnecessary. Yes I know vx say to replace them.
If you use the search facility you'll find all the old posts.
Do replace the pinch bolts on the hub though, if they come with wishbones like lemforders do.

Neither have I. They're quite chunky and don't appear to suffer any ill effects from being under the car.  :y

I'm sure your aware but, makes sure they tighten the front bolts wheels loaded/suspension at the usual ride height
