It is fitted with threads and nut at each end. Holding a twisting and bouncing axle securely to a leaf spring is the important yet simple job of a U-bolt. It serves as the clamping force needed in holding the springs to the axle. U-bolts are considered to be the easiest and most economical and reliable way of attaching springs to an axle. The threads on most U-bolts are not cut but are rolled. Tightened U-bolts could deform the threads. U-bolts should also be replaced if there are spring replacements. U-bolts that are not replaced could affect your driving. Several factors that could contribute to the wearing of U-bolts include the stress factors derived from uneven roadways, torque from the engine and the braking forces. These are all enhanced by load and speed that can conspire to stretch the steel of the U-bolt. The failure of the U-bolts to perform its function could result to loss of control, broken center bolts and could also result to tire wear.
