Yukon Gear 3/8in Ring Gear Bolt Washer For GM 12 Bolt Car & Truck / 8.2 Bop & More

This 3/8 inch ring gear bolt washer from Yukon Gear & Axle is a small but crucial part for rebuilding or servicing differentials in a wide range of GM vehicles. It's designed to sit under the head of your ring gear bolts, providing a solid, flat surface that helps distribute the clamping force evenly. This is important for ensuring the ring gear stays properly seated and torqued down, which is key for smooth operation and longevity of your rear end.

You'll find this washer used in popular applications like the GM 12-bolt rear axle found in many Chevrolet trucks and cars from the 1950s through the 1970s, as well as the 8.2-inch BOP (Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac) differential. It's a well-built piece, made to handle the stresses of differential work. While it might seem like a minor component, using the correct washer ensures your ring gear bolts can achieve their intended clamping force without damaging the gear or the bolts themselves.

When you're diving into differential work, having all the right small parts on hand makes the job go much smoother. This washer is one of those essential pieces that helps ensure your rebuild is done right the first time.
