Ford Upper U-Bolt Saddle

ATS Springs offers high-quality Ford Upper U-Bolt Saddles designed to work with your truck’s leaf spring suspension. These saddles provide a solid mounting point for the U-bolts and help maintain proper axle alignment and suspension stability.

Features and Benefits

  • Exact Fit for Ford Trucks: Designed for Ford models requiring upper U-bolt saddles
  • Heavy-Duty Construction: Made to withstand stress from daily driving and heavy loads
  • Works with Grade 8 U-Bolts: Ensures maximum strength and safety in suspension installation
  • Durable Finish: Resists corrosion and prolongs part life

Understanding the Upper U-Bolt Saddle

The upper U-bolt saddle is a key component in leaf spring suspensions:

  • Sits between the axle housing and the U-bolt, distributing clamping force evenly
  • Helps keep the axle properly aligned under load
  • Prevents spring pack movement and uneven wear
  • Works together with Grade 8 U-bolts, leaf springs, shackles, and hangers to ensure safe and stable suspension

Installation Tips

  1. Always replace U-bolts when installing a new saddle. Old U-bolts can stretch and compromise safety.
  2. Use a cross-pattern torque sequence to evenly tighten U-bolts.
  3. Inspect your leaf springs, hangers, and bushings during installation for wear or damage.
  4. Ensure the saddle seats properly on the axle housing before tightening.
