Thanks for sharing. I’m using this video to prepare for replacement of the U bolts on my 89 Fleetwood Pace Arrow RV on the Chevy Chassis. Thanks again!

Thanksfor the tip on using Black Star rust prohibitor. Going to try it out on my 06 Tacoma

[@paulpvhl1930]

I didn't know the cut and torque technique. Thank you.

What diameter u bolts did you use? We’re they 5/8 or 11/16?

[@ktate2002]

Is it necessary to have the truck off the lift and tires on the ground with the weight of truck on the axle before torquing the U bolt nuts? Thank you..

[@NobleAutomotive]

No I usually do it while it's hanging but I'll go back a couple of days later and recheck it to make sure once everything's settled in that the torque is still good

[@skepticaliam5857]

what about alignment?

[@NobleAutomotive]

There should be studs so that it will go back to exactly the same place, so there's no need for an alignment

[@lloyds7828]

@@NobleAutomotive So if one side slips the stud is broken? Is that possible? Its on a sterling dump truck, noticed it when we had to have it towed.

[@NobleAutomotive]

I would look at the perch where the spring sets or if there is a spacers block sets and see if there's a hole there's. If there is a hole, you might be able to put your another pin in.

[@skepticaliam5857]

@@NobleAutomotive Thank you. I had my truck in the shop to have the motor mounts replaced. Is it possible they needed to remove or relocate the springs while replacing the motor mounts? If so is it possible they did not put it back correctly or are the two unrelated?

[@a19gmc88]

How come you didnt tell us the torque specs?

[@NobleAutomotive]

I'm sorry for that.
I have added it in the description THANK YOU ! Rookie mistake Huh. Like getting instructions with a page missing.
Thank you for taking time for your comment.

What sort of accent is that? Sounds Scandinavian to me🧐
