Can I reuse factory u-bolts and nuts?

thearizonacowboy · Mar 9, 2017

Howdy, just wondering if I can reuse the factory u-bolts and nuts after removing them to install a bump strike pad? Just want to make sure they're not "stretch bolts" and are good to be reused.

Thanks!

No they are torque to yield and therefore single use bolts.

As said its not recommended as they tend to stretch when TQed.

Picked up a set of factory replacements from SPECTRAC over in Mesa (Arizona). Anyone in the Phoenix area that needs U-Bolts, I highly recommend these guys!
