Installation notes
The U-bolt is mounted around the axle housing with the spring plate between axle and leaf spring. Multiple U-bolts are required per vehicle (7 pieces for MB/GPW). Tighten the nuts in a cross pattern to a torque of 45-55 lb-ft (60-75 Nm). Check regularly that the U-bolts remain properly tightened.
Compatibility
Please note: this is the small model. For certain positions on the front axle (passenger side inner, where the axle housing has a larger diameter), a large model may be required. Check the diameter of your axle housing before ordering.
Historical context
The U-bolt attachment of leaf spring to axle was a proven construction that had been used for decades. Military specifications required that this connection be inspected regularly to ensure the safety and stability of the vehicle.
