    Do any auto parts stores (besides Melvins) stock leaf spring U bolts that are a perfect fit for our cars?

    ESPO Springs N Things, and General Spring sells direct replacements.

    They are 7/16", and are 5-3/4" long. Your local auto parts stores will not have them.

    Yea, I thought I was losing my touch on google. I can usually find anything, but these were eluding me.

    I ended up ordering them from General Spring.
