So had a small shake around 55mph
Checked everything out and found no issues and assumed it was just unbalanced tire.

Well today went out for a smoke and saw over half of the passanger side front ubolt had split clean in half and feel out within the past day where its normally parked

In a quick pretrial I would probably overlook it

Wow!

What a surprise. I do always look at springs, shackles, u-bolts, shocks, airbrake cans, hub seals, air lines, drive line, tires ect, etc, etc. So far the only problems I have found were a leaking hub seal on the M915A1 and a loose u-bolt on the front axle of my M35A2. Glad you found that before it caused a problem.

Hi

That was very nice of your truck to spit out broken U bolt where you would see it. So often they bury those loose bits where you won't see. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers Phil
