u bolts landing gear

Do the landing gear ubolts have to be replaced every 500 hours? I have a 2005 7gcaa.

U-bolts are good for life
Thru-bolts are every 500 or so.

Thanks Jerry,

The two through bolts , one per side every 500 hours. I know about the 1000 hour wing strut attach fittings. Are there any other time life limited parts? I have 440 hours now of trouble free flying on this one. Great product.

Thats about it for items with specific times.
Other items dont really have a set time, but do wear out. For example, the up elevator cable will not last as long as the down cable. These sort of items should be easy to catch with good annuals. Not rocket science, champ line is 'Fly-by-cable" hehe.
