U-Bolt 3in Tube 1/2in x 9.5in.

The AFCO Racing Products U-Bolt 3in Tube 1/2in x 9.5in is a precision-engineered suspension component designed for serious drag racers, circle track competitors, and high-performance street rod builders who demand reliability under extreme loads. This u-bolt assembly serves as a critical connection point in rear suspension systems, securing axle housings and spring perches to frame rails with unwavering rigidity.

Manufactured by AFCO Racing Products—a trusted name in competition suspension since 1978—this u-bolt features 1/2-inch diameter stock with a 9.5-inch span, engineered to withstand the torsional and vertical forces generated during hard acceleration, cornering, and braking events. The 3-inch tube designation indicates compatibility with standard tube-diameter axle housings common in custom and race applications. The radius bends are computer-calculated to prevent stress concentrations that could lead to premature failure.

This u-bolt is ideal for those building a street machine with modern safety concerns or a dedicated race car pushing limits on the strip. AFCO's quality control standards guarantee consistent dimensions across every unit, critical for repeatability in multi-car shops and race teams running multiple vehicles. The structural integrity of this component ensures safety and performance in demanding applications.
