Hi All
In a former life I was a structural engineer so forgive my ignorance on mechanical matters. Could those mechanical engineers explain to me why we use u bolts to secure the front (and rear) springs?
The reason I ask is that it would be so much easier to remove and replace front springs if they were secured with bolts and clamping plates. It is not as though the u bolt is round and restraining a tube!
Cheers
