Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install these bolts, ensure your mounting surface is clean and free of debris. Slide the U-bolt over the frame or axle, ensuring the internal width fits snugly against the material. Thread your nuts on evenly, ideally using a calibrated torque wrench to achieve the manufacturer-recommended tension for M10 hardware. Periodically inspect the hardware for any signs of loosening after the first fifty miles of towing. To maintain the integrity of the zinc and gold plating, avoid using abrasive chemicals during cleaning; a simple wash with mild soap and water is sufficient to preserve the corrosion-resistant layer.
