Hi Guys,

It's a wet snowy mess out there, otherwise I'd just climb under the old girl and answer this question firsthand. The ORD lists two different U-bolts for the front leaf springs......3 of one number and 1 of another. Why is one different from the other 3?

thanks,
bob

D on the right is the same dimensions as the two U bolts on the left front spring. E on the right is a larger U bolt because the axle housing dimension is larger for the inboard right u bolt then it is for the right outboard u bolt.
