I have no problem replacing all 6 bolts and nuts, and I'm only really curious about whether the nuts should be replaced as well.

I'm in agreement Gary for sure - I would replace the nuts and bolts when tightening the stiffening plate, pretty sure when my front suspension was replaced the guy re-used them and I've had the slightest bit of shimmy ever since -

And I also agree with Stephen, hoping its just your PS hoses but didn't you say you did your OFHG last year? If not, that's probably it - and God help you, like he said, if its the oil pan
