I co own a 1962 175 and have been told that the undercarriage U bolts need changing every 1000 hours and/or 10 years. I can find some info relating to this for post 63' Cessna's but not pre. I have also found some info saying that they should be inspected and if ok refitted, can anyone cast any light on the subject?. At nearly $500 each I don't want to be replacing what is, I hope, perfectly ok.

I've now looked into it a bit more, it's an official Cessna SID that came out some years back. The undercarriage U-bolts on all 175/172/182's should be replaced every 3 years or 1000 hours whichever is sooner regardless of condition, I wonder how many actually comply with this ?.
