diff washer plates!!!
hi Guys
firstly thanks to anyone that has given me advice to date as all advice has been spot on and helpful.
i have just removed the trailing arms from the diff, there seems to be 3 x washer plates pairing up the blots that hold the arms into the diff. are
these needed when re-installing the arms (i had to cut the head of of two blots and cut through the washer plate). are these needed (yes or no) and if
yes can normal washers be used???
cheers Guys and a happy new year to you all.

Bin the damaged ones, refit with regular single washers.

do you mean the lock washers where the driveshafts bolt on ??
there is 1 shown bellow (next to part G)
I'd get the right ones as they help stop the bolts from working lose - ford still sell them if you don't have a decent set - you only need
12 for the whole car

no need if he tightens them properly and uses threadlock (as advised on another thread). Having the washers joined in pairs isnt going to make a vast
difference, if it gets to the point where the washer is free to rotate then the bolt is on its way out anyway!

fair points - but they are avalible new from ford if anyone wants them (or they were last year anyway)
actually I think I've got some spare old ones somewhere - I have a look if anyone wants some
