Mike B 'Bolter M Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,214 Silver Spring, MD	Some things to check... Are the U-bolts the exact size for your axle tube? Are you using the correct nuts? Are you using Grade 8 washers? Are you torqueing the bolts to the proper torque setting? Is the leaf spring centering bolt head lined up with the hole in the spring perch? Is the leaf spring centering bolt broken? Mike B Mike Boteler 1956 Chevy 3100 Resto Rod 1952 Willys M38 Army Jeep 1983 Jeep CJ7 Laredo 1984 Jeep CJ7 +++++ Silver Spring, MD
