When leaf springs start to shift, the ride can get rough and uneven. This 5/16" diameter, 2-1/2" long center tie bolt keeps every spring leaf locked in position so the pack stays centered and balanced. It’s the simple piece that makes sure your suspension works as one solid unit.
Loose or missing hardware can throw off your suspension fast. This tie bolt comes complete with a properly matched nut so you can fasten it down tight. It replaces part 516-3tb and fits right where the old one came out, restoring the secure hold that keeps the spring stack aligned.
Old center bolts often rust or snap from years of stress. Swapping in this replacement brings your suspension back to spec with minimal effort. It’s a direct, uncomplicated way to keep your trailer’s leaf springs working smoothly and evenly over the long haul.

Speaker 1: Today we're going to take a look at the leaf spring center tie bolt with nut. Now this is a 5/16 diameter by 2-1/2" long bolt. It includes the grade 5 bolt and the one nut. A few measurements on this, on the bolt the length, which is measured from under the head to the end is going to be right at 2-1/2" long, and the nut-head size is 1/2". Basically it would just go in the end just like that. But that should do it for the review on the leaf spring center tie bolt with the nut..

As described and very prompt shipping
Great product. Works perfectly with my new Karavan axles.
Centering pin sheared on 20 year old tandem trailer. Did not want to have to replace springs which is all any local trailer store would have been able to assist in. None of them even carried centering bolts. Easy fix and great price.
Quick shipping! Good communications.
Very good product
Good product but unfortunately will not work on my 1974 fj40. Bolt head is too small and too short. Picture shown is different from actual product. Attached pics are of actual products. Very good company to deal with.
Proud of my little trailer build. Have pulled it with about 600-800 lbs. 3 times for around 1200 miles. It tracks true and you don’t even know it’s back there. All purchased parts are working well. I would certainly recommend etrailer to friends.
Excellent piece, quick shipping
