In Reply to: Why copper washers? posted by John B. on May 10, 2000 at 21:23:15:
When I replaced my third-member, I did not replace the washers. They aren't really necessary...
: Somewhere I read that you should use copper washers when re-installing the gear cluster in a rear-end. What is the reason for this? Are these special copper washers? (seems to me the artcle dealt with Ford 9" rear-ends.) Do you have to get them from anywhere in particular? What do you torque them too? Any help appreciated, as always. Thanks. John B.
