Yukon Gear Ring Gear Bolt Chrysler 7.25in 8in IFS 8.25in 8.75in GM 7.2in IFS
The Yukon Gear YUKYSPBLT-005 is a precision ring gear bolt engineered to replace factory hardware in Chrysler and GM differential assemblies including the Chrysler 7.25in, 8in IFS, 8.25in, and 8.75in, as well as the GM 7.2in IFS front differential. Ring gear bolts must deliver consistent, repeatable clamping force to keep the ring gear precisely located on the carrier throughout the full load range of the differential. The YUKYSPBLT-005 is manufactured to OEM dimensional tolerances for thread pitch, grip length, and head bearing surface to ensure proper torque-to-clamp relationship and reliable long-term retention. This bolt is a staple component in complete differential rebuilds using Yukon ring and pinion sets or differential cases. Yukon Gear backs every YUKYSPBLT-005 with a Lifetime Limited Warranty, and as a drivetrain fastener the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act applies.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which differentials does the YUKYSPBLT-005 fit? The YUKYSPBLT-005 fits Chrysler 7.25in, 8in IFS, 8.25in, 8.75in differentials, and the GM 7.2in IFS front differential.
- Is the YUKYSPBLT-005 sold as a single bolt or a set? The YUKYSPBLT-005 is sold individually. Order the quantity that matches the number of ring gear bolt holes in your specific differential carrier.
- How many ring gear bolts does my differential need? Ring gear bolt count varies by differential. Common counts are 8, 10, or 12 bolts. Check your OEM service manual or Yukon Gear's application guide for your specific unit.
- Should ring gear bolts be replaced during every rebuild? Yes. Always replace ring gear bolts when the ring gear is removed. Reused bolts may be fatigued and can fail to achieve proper clamp load even when torqued to spec.
- Do I need thread locker on the YUKYSPBLT-005? Refer to the OEM service manual for your specific differential. Some applications call for thread locker while others require dry, clean threads. Always follow the manufacturer's specification.
- What torque value should I use for the YUKYSPBLT-005? Use the torque specification listed in the OEM service manual or Yukon Gear's installation instructions for your differential model.
- Does the Yukon warranty cover the YUKYSPBLT-005? Yes. Yukon Gear provides a Lifetime Limited Warranty on the YUKYSPBLT-005. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act applies as this is a drivetrain fastener.
- What is the UPC for the YUKYSPBLT-005? The UPC is 883584300006.
Installation Instructions
- Clean all bolt holes in the carrier and the mating surface of the ring gear. Remove all oil and thread locker residue.
- Position the ring gear on the carrier and align all bolt holes.
- Start all YUKYSPBLT-005 bolts by hand to verify clean thread engagement.
- Apply thread locker if specified by the OEM service manual for your application.
- Torque all bolts in a star pattern in three incremental stages to the OEM final torque value.
- Verify final torque on each bolt before proceeding with differential assembly.
