When a u-bolt is tightened to its recommended torque level, the u-bolt threads stretch as they mate with the hi-nuts. Although it is not always visible to the naked eye, this damages the threads. Removed the hi-nuts from the u-bolt will cause a cross-threading that will not allow the u-bolt to be adequately re-torqued.<\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"xs_social_share_widget xs_share_url after_content \t\tmain_content  wslu-style-1 wslu-share-box-shaped wslu-fill-colored wslu-none wslu-share-horizontal wslu-theme-font-no wslu-main_content\">\n\n\t\t\n        <ul>\n\t\t\t        <\/ul>\n    <\/div> \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Year: 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021Make: FordModel: Transit ConnectWidth: 3 in.PL-1 S.E.
