When doing the rebuild on my `4 I always relaced the nasty with new.
I had no problen substituting American standard with what came on
the car. A tad of advice though... be careful what you use where. Most
automotive grade bolts and nuts (if I'm not mistaken) are grade
5. Be sure to replace what you remove with a similar grade or better
replacement (e.g. I replace all suspension nuts and bolts with grade
8).
Good luck!
