Construction & Design

The ARP Ring Gear Bolt Kit is meticulously crafted from forged 8740 chromoly steel, a material renowned for its high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent fatigue resistance. The forging process enhances grain structure and overall toughness, making these bolts suitable for high-stress environments. Heat treatment further refines their mechanical properties, ensuring they maintain their integrity under extreme loads.

The 12-point head design provides increased contact surface area, allowing for easier installation in tight or hard-to-reach locations. The black oxide finish not only improves corrosion resistance but also reduces glare, making these bolts suitable for both street and racing applications. Precision grinding of the washers, where included, ensures proper load distribution and minimizes the risk of gear damage or loosening over time.

Installation & Fitment

The ARP Ring Gear Bolt Kit is designed for straightforward, bolt-on installation. These bolts are compatible with a variety of Ford models and fitments from 2010 through 2023, making them a versatile choice for many applications. No special tools beyond standard hand tools are required, and the 12-point head design facilitates easier access in confined spaces. Proper torque specifications should be followed as per manufacturer recommendations to ensure optimal clamping force and safety. No cutting, drilling, or additional modifications are necessary for installation.

• Ensure all fasteners are clean and free of debris before installation.
• Use a calibrated torque wrench to tighten bolts to the specified torque for your application.
• Replace washers where included and required to maintain proper load distribution.
