Default Suitable UCA bolt replacements?

Alright so I just found out the source of one of my clunking noises. Axle end UCA bolt was really loose. Because of the slop in it the threads on the bolt are all buggered up so I replaced it with a grade 5 bolt that I found in the shop. So whatcha guys think, is grade 5 strong enough? BTW this is on an '89 with the torx head bolts.

I personally used grade 10.1 or whatever the highest metric grade is.
It has held up pretty good. 8$ for bolts and nuts for both sides.

Axle end at least.

**** those torx asses.

should be OK, the UCA will break before that bolt will shear.
