Product Information

Full details

The Febi Leaf Spring U Bolt (37712) is a precision-engineered suspension component designed for heavy-duty commercial vehicle maintenance, specifically compatible with Renault Trucks OEM 5010066498. It provides a robust clamping force necessary to secure leaf spring assemblies to the axle, ensuring vehicle stability and safety under heavy loads. While it is built to OEM specifications, the main caveat is that it does not include installation instructions, requiring the user to have a strong technical understanding of suspension systems or professional assistance for a safe fitment.

FAQs

Are nuts included with the U-bolt?

It is standard practice to confirm the contents upon arrival, but typically, these components are sold as standalone pieces. Ensure you have matching M20 x 1.5 nuts available.

Can I install this myself?

If you have experience with heavy vehicle suspension and proper lifting equipment, it is possible. However, due to safety risks involving heavy springs, professional installation is strongly recommended.

Is this a genuine Renault part?

No, this is a high-quality aftermarket part manufactured by Febi that is designed to be compatible with Renault Trucks OEM 5010066498.

How many U-bolts should I replace at once?

It is best practice to replace all U-bolts on a single axle at the same time to ensure equal tension and structural integrity across the suspension assembly.

What is the material of the bolt?

Febi produces these using high-strength steel alloys designed to meet or exceed the durability requirements for commercial vehicle suspension applications.

Troubleshooting

Bolt does not fit around the axle housing

Verify your axle diameter; the 92.45mm width is specific to certain models and will not fit if the leaf spring stack or axle housing exceeds this capacity.

Nut feels difficult to thread

Clean the threads on the U-bolt and the nut with a wire brush to remove any dirt or surface rust. Use a light application of anti-seize lubricant if threads are dry.

Unable to reach desired torque

Ensure the threads are not damaged and that you are using a calibrated torque wrench. Do not use an impact wrench to achieve final torque, as this can stretch the bolt.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Matches OEM specifications for Renault Trucks
  • High-quality material construction for suspension safety
  • Precision-machined M20 x 1.5 threading for secure fastening
  • Robust dimensions designed for heavy-duty environments

Cons

  • Installation instructions not provided
  • Requires professional automotive tools for proper torque application
  • Specific to narrow range of commercial vehicle axle configurations

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Requirements:

  1. Verify your current vehicle U-bolt dimensions against the 215mm length and 92.45mm width specs.
  2. Ensure you have the proper deep-socket or specialized torque tools for M20 hardware.
  3. The vehicle must be safely supported on jack stands capable of holding the full axle weight before loosening any existing bolts.

Compatibility:

Designed as a replacement for Renault Trucks OEM 5010066498. Always confirm your VIN or original part number before purchase.

Care:

Inspect for corrosion during routine maintenance. Because these bolts are subject to high stress, they should be checked for tightness after the first 500 miles following installation, as the components may settle or 'seat' themselves into position.
