Should I use washers on my differential ring gear bolts?
My 96 SS is getting a new carrier and ring and pinion. I lost my original ring gear bolts. My new diff is an Eaton model without a reluctor ring. Im going to be ditching the ABS in the car anyway. Anyhow, I was wondering the best place to get new ring gear bolts and does this Eaton posi need washers on the bolts? Thanx for the replys

Ratech 1303 - Ratech Ring Gear Bolts - Overview - SummitRacing.com
no washers,a washer can allow a 'loosening' effect.
FYI,the bolts are 'left hand' thread.

Not specifically on topic but consider getting a Ratech "smart sleeve" for the crush sleeve, they are a lot easier to set up and are supposed to be stronger.
On the bolts as said they are a left hand thread without washers, they also need a dab of thread locker.
