Hazard
The U-bolts connecting the rear axle and tandem rear axle shafts to the spring members (spring seats) are made of inappropriate material. Under operational loads during driving, cracks may develop in these U-bolts. Consequently, U-bolt fracture can occur, compromising driving stability, and in worst-case scenarios, resulting in inability to continue operation.
