I have a 1980 FJ40, and ordered some shims and u-bolts from cruiser brothers. 3 of them look just right, but of course the one that rides on the diff is different than the others.
My issue is that the diff u-bolt that was sent is squared off, not rounded like the one that is currently on there. A local guy said that it might be for a 60 series, but I could use it and be okay. I really have reservations putting it on because it isn't form-fitting like the rounded u-bolt that was on there, and I really feel like it SHOULD be, due to it being in an area that's high vibration and such.
Am I worrying for nothing or should I press cruiser brother's for a swap?
