so i was driving home from work today and my steering wheel went from tracking straight with my hand at noon on the wheel, to straight with my hand still at the noon position.... but it was now at the 3. basically i snapped my left rear axle u bolts and my leafs came out of the spring perch. ridiculous.

my question is what would be the best place to get them?
i want to get new ones for the entire axle. wold ford carry these u bolts?
or would i need to go to a shop?

thanks in advance
 
Your ford dealer should have them, if you don't have a spring shop in the area i'd go there.
 
update

called ford this morning and they wanted 25 a piece for the u bolts.
went to napa and got a set for 26 bucks. upgraded to half inch from stock.
ranger 8.8 axles are 3in tubes regardless of what anyone tells you. 28 spline shafts...3 in tubes. 31 spline... 3.25 in tubes
