It does have the u-bolts, but mine have not loosened up in the two years since I've installed it. It also comes with a bracket that mounts it to the idler arm if I remember correctly.As previously mentioned, you'll notice the steering to be a bit heavier. But after a couple weeks, it'll be like normal again. Just be sure once you install it to have it centered so you get equal movement when steering from side to side. It took me a couple tries, but only 5 minutes worth.
