Installation Tips
Do not re-use old U-bolts on springs. All U-bolts have yield type threads,
therefore they have a recommended torque setting, that ‘stretches’
or ‘yields’ the thread to ensure they hold firm. If old (previously
torqued) U-bolts are re-torqued there is a risk that the thread will be
beyond there yield strength thus weakening and causing them to work loose.
Some Lovells U-bolts can have excess thread protruding after the deep
nut has been tightened. Please remove to ensure thread is not damaged.
IMPORTANT: U-Bolts must be checked regularly and retensioned. For maximum
leaf spring life, after fitment of Lovells leaf springs, U-bolts must
be retensioned after 500km with vehicle fully laden. Failure to do so
may void Lovells leaf spring and U-bolt warranty. Lovells recommend all
U-bolts be checked regularly (at normal service intervals) and retensioned
if required. Torque settings are available upon request.
