Re: control arms R&R: upper studs, lower ubolts
The earlier u bolts were a smaller diameter than the later years I don't recall what year they were changed.
You certainly don't want to experience a broken one going at any speed.
this happened on a friends 67 and it wasn't nice.
U bolts get stretched when torqued. It's not hard too stress one that's been removed and tightened a few times.
It only requires drilling the holes out slightly larger for that small peice of mind.
