Default U-bolt question
hey all, merry x-mas in avance.
when changing or re-installing axles, if your installing new U-bolts, are they supposed to fit in the plates ? or do I need to bend them to fit ?
thanks
FRED

35 is the rear axle. If the u-bolts measure 3" inside to inside they are for a Chrysler 8.25". D35s are 2.75"
