8 3/4 U-bolt question

DO NOT use the non flattened ones.

The flats distribute the point load of the U bolt over a larger area.

You WILL crush the housing tube.

This is crush NOT wear

Yeah, that was my first thought when I saw them. Obviously, it would have been cheaper to produce them round, but Chrysler decided to make them flat for a reason. To spread the surface area out so it wouldn’t damage the housing tube. Thanks for confirming what I was worried about.

I guess I will junk these and try to find 2 more OEM ones. I should have just ordered new ones from the start. Lesson learned.
