Lol! Exactly. The u bolts are sad. Surprisingly I can’t find and rust or bubbling paint on the body. This corner of the axle is the worst on the whole rig. People (Larry) have had k2500 rear axles break loose. Planned obsolescence or just cheap stamped plate design? We’ll. Ever know.
The new plates I have will flip the U bolts so no more puddle collecting.
