[QUOTE="trickpony1, post: 157079, member: 1957"] On two separate occasions, while pre-trip inspecting my feeder tractor, I have found broken "u-bolts" (the bolts that hold the axle to the leaf spring). It's a good idea to check the steering axle also to assure all the u-bolts are intact. While I am checking the front and rear axle u-bolts, I also look for any oily stuff that might be slung on the inside surface of any of my tires. This would suggest a seal leak which could result in a seized axle or brake failure. Take those precious minutes to do a good pre-trip!!! The life you save could be your own. I won't comment on whether the company cares. [/QUOTE]
