Some Dodge Ram 2500 owners report experiencing issues related to a rusted left rear axle spring mount and overtorqued U-bolts on the right side. These problems can compromise the vehicle's safety and performance if not addressed promptly. Owners have noted that rusted U-bolts, which hold the spring pack to the axle, may thin over time and require replacement to prevent significant problems. Additionally, loose U-bolts can lead to serious issues, necessitating their replacement and proper torqueing to specified levels. Furthermore, over-torqued U-bolts can also cause complications, highlighting the importance of adhering to manufacturer specifications during maintenance. Timely resolution of these concerns is essential for maintaining the structural integrity and overall safety of the Dodge Ram 2500.
