Product Description
Mopar 52038458 Dana 70 U-Bolt Spring Plate for 1994-2002 Dodge Ram 2500
The Mopar 52038458 Dana 70 U-Bolt Spring Plate is a genuine OEM rear suspension component designed for 1994-2002 Dodge Ram 2500 trucks equipped with the Dana 70 rear axle. Engineered to factory specifications, this heavy-duty spring plate secures the rear leaf spring pack to the axle housing using U-bolts, helping maintain proper axle alignment, suspension stability, and load-carrying performance.
Over time, factory spring plates can become bent, rusted, corroded, or damaged due to heavy towing, hauling, off-road use, and exposure to the elements. Replacing worn suspension hardware with a genuine Mopar component helps restore factory fitment, clamping force, and long-term reliability. The Mopar 52038458 is manufactured from heavy-duty steel and serves as a direct OEM replacement for select Dodge Ram 2500 applications equipped with the Dana 70 rear axle.
