  Leaf Spring Axle U-Bolt, U Bolt

• Description:

  This is a genuine Ford rear leaf spring axle U bolt for the 2015 through 2024 Ford Transit full size van in single rear wheel configuration. The U bolt is the heavy gauge threaded clamp that wraps over the rear axle tube and draws the leaf spring pack tightly against the axle seat, locking axle position, pinion angle, and spring alignment under full load. It carries the clamping force that keeps the solid rear axle located beneath the leaf springs, so a stretched, corroded, or under torqued U bolt is a genuine safety concern. Owners needing this part are often chasing a rear end clunk or shifting sensation over bumps, a spring that has walked out of its seat, a leaning or off center rear axle, a vibration traced to a changed pinion angle, or heavy surface rust and thread damage found during a spring, shackle, or axle service. Because this is a torque to yield clamping fastener, the nuts stretch permanently as they are tightened, so a new U bolt must be installed any time the leaf spring or rear axle is unbolted and it must be brought up to the Ford specified torque sequence rather than reused. Always renew both U bolts on an axle together and confirm single rear wheel fitment before installing. As a genuine Ford component it matches the original equipment thread length, diameter, saddle radius, and yield rating of the factory part, restoring correct spring clamp load and rear axle security.
