Spicer Differential Ring Gear Mounting Bolt Kit for Jeep Wrangler, Cherokee & Grand Cherokee (Dana 35, Set of 8)

Eliminate hazardous internal drivetrain hardware fatigue, ensure absolute torque retention on your primary drive gears, and maintain factory-spec rotating stability with this genuine Spicer Ring Gear Bolt Kit. Specifically packaged as a complete, 8-piece hardware overhaul for Jeep Dana 35 solid rear axles, this high-tensile fastener set replaces stretched, fatigued, or sheared factory ring gear mounting bolts.

Inside the rear differential center section, the ring gear bolts play a critical structural role: they lock the main ring gear to the differential carrier assembly. These fasteners endure violent rotational torque spikes, continuous fluid shear forces, and severe load shifting from sudden trail acceleration, towing, and crawling over steep terrain. Over high mileage, or during routine differential teardowns for a gear ratio swap or locker installation, the factory bolts naturally undergo tensile stretching. Because these fasteners are engineered to handle precise yield margins under extreme clamping loads, recycling old hardware is highly dangerous; fatigued bolts can easily back out or snap under load, resulting in catastrophic ring gear deflection, housing puncture, or total differential lockup.

This original equipment manufacturer (OEM) hardware pack includes 8 premium-grade, heat-treated mounting bolts to completely refresh a standard Dana 35 ring gear assembly. Sourcing genuine Spicer hardware guarantees exact original thread pitches, shoulder dimensions, and specific grade-strength parameters engineered to interface perfectly with factory and aftermarket Dana 35 differential gearsets.
