Good Morning Fellows,

I'm looking for the Tore Specs Rear Leaf Spring U Bolt?

In my searching so far, I have not found the value. If anyone has the book value and can post it I would really appreciate it.

Thanks a lot!

This from the 2015 Ford Service DVD. It is the steps for spring replacement. Thought would include it all for you...

NOTICE: Suspension fasteners are critical components because they affect performance of vital components and systems and their failure can result in major service expense. Install new components with the same component number or an equivalent component if installation is necessary. Do not use an installation component of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified during reassembly to make sure of correct retention of these components.

Remove the wheel and tire. Refer to Section 204-04 .

Using a suitable jack, support the rear axle.

Remove the U-bolt nuts and U-bolts and remove the rear spring bottom cap.

Remove and discard the spring-to-front bracket bolt and nut.

Remove and discard the shackle-to-rear bracket bolt and flagnut.

NOTE: If the rear spring has an auxiliary spring and spacer, it is serviced as part of the rear spring assembly.

Remove the rear spring assembly.

Installation

NOTICE: Final tightening of the shackle-to-rear bracket bolt must be done with the suspension at curb height or damage to the bushing may occur.

Position the rear spring and install the shackle-to-rear bracket bolt and flagnut until snug. Do not tighten the nut at this time.

NOTICE: Final tightening of the spring-to-front bracket bolt must be done with the suspension at curb height or damage to the bushing may occur.

Install the spring-to-front bracket bolt and nut until snug. Do not tighten the nut at this time.

NOTICE: Final tightening of the U-bolt nuts must be done with the suspension at curb height or incorrect clamp load may occur.

Position the bottom cap and install the U-bolts and nuts, align the U-bolts so they are as vertical as possible, and tighten until snug. Do not fully tighten the nuts at this time.

With the suspension at curb height, tighten the new shackle-to-rear bracket bolt to 225 Nm (166 lb-ft).

With the suspension at curb height, tighten the new spring-to-front bracket bolt to 515 Nm (340 lb-ft).

With the suspension at curb height, tighten the U-bolt nuts evenly in a cross-type pattern in 4 stages.

Stage 1: Tighten to 65 Nm (48 lb-ft).
Stage 2: Tighten to 130 Nm (96 lb-ft).
Stage 3: Tighten to 200 Nm (148 lb-ft).
Stage 4: Tighten to 265 Nm (195 lb-ft).

Install the wheel and tire. Refer to Section 204-04 .
