Ring Gear Bolts GM & Dana

The Ring Gear Bolts GM & Dana from RATECH are precision fasteners engineered for differential assembly and maintenance on Dana and GM 10 and 12-bolt rear axle housings. These bolts are essential for technicians, rebuilders, and serious enthusiasts who demand OEM-equivalent reliability when securing ring gear components. Proper fastener selection during differential work directly impacts load transfer, noise characteristics, and long-term axle durability—making quality hardware non-negotiable in high-performance or heavy-duty applications.

Each set contains 10 Grade 8 hex-head bolts finished in black oxide for corrosion resistance and secure grip during installation and service. The 3/8-24 right-hand thread specification and 0.875-inch length conform to Dana and GM OEM standards, ensuring precise fit without binding or protrusion inside the axle cavity. Black oxide coating protects against rust and moisture ingress—critical in environments where salt spray, high humidity, or extended storage threaten bare steel. The hex-head design provides reliable torque application with standard wrenches, allowing technicians to achieve proper clamping load without risk of fastener deformation.

This bolt kit is ideal for Dana 60, Dana 70, Dana 80, and GM 10 and 12-bolt differential rebuilds, particularly in truck, off-road, and performance vehicle platforms where original fasteners show wear or corrosion. Whether performing routine maintenance, upgrading to stronger internals, or restoring a classic chassis, using genuine RATECH hardware ensures repeatable torque specs and eliminates guesswork during reassembly. Installation requires standard metric tools and adherence to OEM torque specifications—consult your differential manual or service guide for exact values specific to your axle model and application.
