Where to find U-bolts for rear axles? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

KrazyKevin · 11-09-2009, 09:24 PM

Whats the best place to buy the two big u-bolts that holds the rear end to the trailing arms? Is there a place on the net that has a good rep, or is it better to go through GM? For that matter, how bout for other bolts? Tractor Supply? Lowes? HomeDepot? Or online?

Thanks for any input.

and tell them what you are looking for. If they don't have them they can either make them or order them for you. A set should be about 30 bucks.

No problem Kevin.

After looking up Liberty, TX in Google Maps to see what it was close to I typed "automotive springs beaumont, tx" into Google. (without the quotes)..

Google is your friend.

I went to a local spring shop, bade them while I waited, and they were considerably better than the ones I got from LMC 5 years ago or so.

Do you need a standard length set? If so, I've got a new set, cover shipping and they're yours.

KrazyKevin · 11-10-2009, 07:41 AM

I'm gonna check my O'Rielys and Autozone on my way home today. If they don't have em, I might give you a yell Hart_Rod. Very nice of you to offer. I wonder what the shipping is from FL to TX? Think its gonna be around 5lbs?

THanks a million guys.

Yup...

Schucks has them for 10.99 for one u bolt. $44 an axle. These were the larger 3 3/8 ones. I year ago a spring shop charged me around $50 for an axles worth. Now I need them for a different axle swap. Might just go the pull a part route.
