The U-bolts were pretty well rusted out and probably not too far from breaking so it was time to replace them. U-Bolts amzn.to/2GR5A3m Amazon Store www.amazon.com...
I would spray that entire bottom side of that truck with WD40 or better yet, used motor oil cut with WD40 and a old paint spray gun and hose the entire bottom of that truck, after a day or 2 it will look almost new.....this works, I did it many times and plus, everything you work on afterwards is easier to work on and that old rusty metal will soak in the oil and it will dry up pretty quickly. good luck P.S. I have a video of me doing it on my 2001 Ram that I bought new and it still looks new underneath becuase I do this every fall....Connecticut uses the worst winter salt on the road....
What size are the u bolts? I got a 93 k1500 extended cab n neeeed ubolts lol but acdelco n orileys have different sizes and im not sure what one to go with
For some reason one of my ubolts get very tight far before my other one does. So when I torque them to spec by cross tightening the threads show more on on ubolt than the other ubolt and the pin is in correctly too idk
Wonder if kits come with the bottom bracket or have to order separate. Mine are rusted pretty bad. Time to replace. What year is your truck? Mine is a 98 GMC.
1:08 _”Should go pretty easy...”_ Famous last words! 🤣😂 Nice work Sir!👍👍

Good idea to pack the bolts in grease. I do it the same way and you are able to get it off again after years.
Changing both sides on my 90 K1500 wish me luck lol after I pick up some grease first
Can you do an update on the Buick's

Very nice job!!!!!
131ft pounds is a little high, Factory service manual for my 92 Silverado says 110 n.m. or 81 ft.lbs.
You should bathe the entire truck in rust converter.
Do you have to jack the truck up or can you do it while just sitting on the ground
In the air
Must release pressure off the suspension or else can cause the spring tention to break lose and cause injury or damage
What is the name of the plate it’s connected too?
Saddle plate

Just ordered one kit. A kit is often only one u-bolt and the nuts. Not two U-bolts, and the bracket isnt included
