Hi, Just considering using split washers on the trailing arm bolts. The parts catalogue doesn't show them as being included and wondering if there is a reason for this. Cheers Ron

Hi Ron, don't they have a cone nut on them ? No reason for a split washer with a cone nut as they lock themselves. Single use only though. Gary.

I think you are right Gary. I bought a new set from Rares and just a bit unsure after having trial fitted the diff a few times. Cheers Ron

No no no no, the the bush fitted to a sleeve which should only be torqued to spec when at ride height.
DO NOT FIT SPRING WASHERS.
