U-bolts
« on: September 13, 2011 - 08:16:55 PM »
I'm looking for a cheap (as in price) set of u-bolts for my 'Cuda....I've seen some on Summit and Jegs but don't know what the difference is besides price....can anyone help me out?  I've got a 73 'Cuda with an 8 & 3/4 rear-end in it:

I think these are the ones I need.....not too sure though.

Jegs (lots of them here):

any help would be greatly appreciated!  :bigsmile:

If we never drown we'll never know how well it tastes....So tell me how it tastes and I'll know just how well you drowned.

Those from Summit might be too long.  Plus you'll need 4, so that's $20 plus their S&H charge.

The Mopar style has the part that goes over the axle "smashed" with a criss cross pattern cut into them so they don't slip.

One of the guys here, I think it may have been Top Cat, put up a link to a hardware supplier and if I remember right, they had U-bolts in the correct style.  :2cents:
