<html> <div class="u-bolt-content"> <h3>Replacing U-Bolts</h3> Removed U-bolts should NEVER be placed back onto the vehicle; they should be thrown away. Suspension u-bolts are manufactured with a smooth rolled thread, while the mating hi-nuts are manufactured with sharp cut threads. When a u-bolt is tightened to its recommended torque level, the u-bolt threads stretch as they mate with the hi-nuts. Although it is not always visible to the naked eye, this damages the threads. Removed hi-nuts from the u-bolt will cause a cross-threading that will not allow the u-bolt to be adequately re-torqued. The best way to get perfect fitting u-bolts is to visit one of our two locations with the old u-bolts. Using the old u-bolts as a guide we can ensure you get an exact duplicate. If you can't make it to the shop, we are able to bend u-bolts to your specifications. Please be advised that, due to the custom nature of this work, custom u-bolts cannot be returned for any reason. Please follow our measuring guide below. <img class="center" src="https://www.superiorspring.net/media/wysiwyg/u-bolt_measure.jpg" alt="u-bolt_measure" style="max-height: 400px"> <ul> <li>A: Measure the width between the inside of the legs.</li> <li>B: Measure the diameter of the rod at the thread.</li> <li>C: Measure the length of the leg, from the top of the inside of the bend.</li> <li>Bend: Note the type of bend: Round, Semi-Round, Square, or Forged Top.</li> </ul> <img class="center" src="https://www.superiorspring.net/media/wysiwyg/ubolt_types.gif" alt="ubolt"> Call today to talk to one of our experts to discuss your situation and begin a custom solution for your vehicle.

U-Bolts that have been well lubricated with an anti-seize compound will have a torque range between plated and unplated values. All of the below values are general guidelines. The OEM Service Manual on specific models always takes precedence over the values shown. <table style="border: 1px solid black; border-collapse: collapse;"> <tr> <td style="text-align:center; border: 1px solid black; border-collapse: collapse;">Size</td> <td style="text-align:center; border: 1px solid black; border-collapse: collapse;">Material Grade</td> <td style="text-align:center; border: 1px solid black; border-collapse: collapse;">Max.
