Frequently Asked Questions

What does this lock bolt do?

It threads into the differential carrier to retain the pinion (cross) shaft that holds the spider/side gears, keeping that shaft from sliding out during operation.

The catalog lists this bolt for both front and rear differential positions. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to match it to your vehicle's application.

How many bolts are included?

The package contains one differential shaft lock bolt, and the listed applications call for a quantity of one.

What are signs this bolt may need replacing?

A lock bolt that is missing, backed out, or sheared can let the pinion shaft shift. If a failed or fatigued bolt is the cause, this replaces it; diagnose the cause before ordering.
