Jake once said to me "you're the only person I know that torques u-bolts"...

This is why you torque u-bolts. Before and after.

The spring shifted and snapped the center bolt, then the leaves shifted. Talk about a ***** to get them lined back up.

I believe you torqued them when we put your shims in..... I snugged them with my gun, then let you tighten them..... I've never had an issue like that doing it my way, so sounds like my way is better haha
