U-Bolts: To re-use or not?
U-bolts are torqued on both of their ends, hence the seemingly low torque number.
Combine the numbers and you'll end up at the number where a 1/2" thread should be torqued.
Just like wheel-nuts, except the studs are way shorter and can stand a little more torque.
All my Mopars I've bought over the years have the factory flattened U-bolts that grip the axlehousing.
