Torque for U-Bolts on Trailer Axle
Updated 06/18/2024 | Published 06/12/2024
Question:
I am trying to install ubolts to attach leaf springs to the new axle. All the bolts are stripping at about 40 ft. lbs of torque, below specifications, and on the last 3rd set, the lock washers all sprung open and attached to the nuts. What can I do?

Hey Mack, instead of cranking all the way down to the point the bolts strip just go to the point where the lock washer flattens all the way and that will work.
