Check your axle ubolts

Smoking isnt good for you but found this laying in front of my 08 m1083 with only 2600 miles

Time to order new ones definitely suprized me

You are correct..Smoking IS bad for you..But..I don't see anything but muck n' stones in front of that truck...So..Exactly what 'fell off it'.

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

I am not sure.
Might have had to go change my shorts after I found that...

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
