CPP Trailing Arms - U-Bolt holes
 

Hey all

My CPP tubular trailing arms arrived yesterday and the new U-bolts. The u bolts are the same size as the old ones, so fit a treat.

The holes in the trailing arm are large than the u bolts, allowing for the axle to move, so I was wondering if this was normal? Or have people bushed it/aligned and torqued down?

Just don’t want that sucker shifting.

Thanks all

How much bigger? They usually are a bit bigger and sometimes the U-bolt will spring a bit and it is hard to get in place. Once you tighten everything down though, it shouldn't move. I would think the holes might be about 1/8" larger in diameter than the bolt, but not more than that.

I know what you are talking about. I'm currently using a set that is smaller in diameter. No issues to report but my long term plan is to thicker ones with blocks to lower it more.
