Never, re-use a U Bolt. ALWAYS use new. Look here'

You will notice Dayton gives torque specs for lubricated U Bolts. All my U Bolts are Dayton, and torqued to their spec. Never a problem obtaining correct torque.
Are you SURE your torque wrench is reading correct. Its hard to believe that none of your U Bolts went to 40 ft pounds. I am betting you have a sick torque wrench.
