Replacing U-Bolts

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.

• A: Measure the diameter of the rod at the thread.
• B: Measure the length of the leg, from the top of the inside of the bend.
• C: Measure the width between the inside of the legs.
• Bend: Note the type of bend: Round, Semi-Round, Square, or Forged Top.
