As Stinky said, DEFINATELY use high tensile steel bolts on any steering or braking components.

You'll probably find that an engineer may even knock back a car presented for engineering certificate if mild steel bolts are used for any of these vehicle systems, if he goes to the trouble of looking.
I can't think what to write here so this will do.
