Buick Lacrosse (w body) wheel bearing replacement

[Vlad2]

I am changing out the wheel bearing on my 2008 Buick Lacrosse and I have it off. Now the question I have is should I replace the back bolts and axle nut.

I have read several places that the axle nut should be replaced. I have read a few places that say the back bolts should be too. Should I change these bolts and the axle nut?

I know they say to replace the axle nut, and some bearings actually come with new nuts. I have never replaced one and I never had a problem.

Thanks, I figured I would buy a new axle nut, but I thought buying new bolts for the back was a bit overkill.
