Left-hand thread ring gear bolts are used in applications where the ring gear's rotation direction would cause a standard right-hand bolt to back out under load. This bolt is manufactured to OEM-equivalent thread engagement and clamping force specifications, keeping the ring gear securely fastened to the carrier under towing, off-road, and high-load conditions. Using the correct thread direction on ring gear bolts is not optional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeft-hand thread prevents self-loosening in differential applications that require it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits Dana 30, Dana 44 Power Lok, 8.75in Chrysler, and 55P differential assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM-equivalent thread engagement and clamping force for secure ring gear fastening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufactured to tight dimensional tolerances for consistent torque values\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with Yukon ring and pinion sets for complete differential rebuilds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime Limited Warranty from Yukon Gear and Axle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYUKYSPBLT-052\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYukon Gear and Axle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRing Gear Bolt\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLeft-Hand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApplication\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDana 30, Dana 44 Power Lok, 8.75in Chrysler, 55P\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSold As\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle bolt\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLifetime Limited\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUPC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e883584300013\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Yukon Gear left-hand ring gear bolt for Dana 30, Dana 44 Power Lok, Chrysler 8.75in, and 55P differentials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does this ring gear bolt use left-hand threads?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn certain differential configurations, the ring gear rotates in a direction that would cause standard right-hand thread fasteners to back out during operation. Left-hand threads tighten with ring gear rotation rather than loosening, keeping the ring gear securely fastened under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I tell if my differential uses left-hand or right-hand ring gear bolts?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAttempt to turn a bolt counterclockwise. If it tightens, it is a left-hand thread bolt. Dana 30, Dana 44 Power Lok, Chrysler 8.75in, and 55P differentials use left-hand threads. Verify your specific differential before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many ring gear bolts does a Dana 30 or Dana 44 use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDana 30 and Dana 44 ring gears typically use ten bolts. Order accordingly for a complete set replacement. Verify the bolt count by inspecting your ring gear carrier before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I mix old and new ring gear bolts when doing a ring and pinion swap?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Always replace all ring gear bolts at once when installing a new ring gear. Used bolts that have been torqued may be stretched, and mixing hardware creates uneven clamping force across the ring gear face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat torque spec applies to left-hand ring gear bolts?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTorque specification varies by differential model and application. Refer to the factory service manual for your specific axle. For Dana 30 and Dana 44 applications, ring gear bolt torque is typically in the 55-80 ft-lb range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs thread-lock compound used on ring gear bolts?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis depends on the manufacturer's specification. Some Dana applications use thread-lock, while others rely on correct torque alone. Follow the factory service manual recommendation for your specific differential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat warranty does Yukon provide on ring gear hardware?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYukon covers the YUKYSPBLT-052 with a Lifetime Limited Warranty.

Standard open and other carrier types may use a different bolt specification.
