I'll be putting the car up after the holiday and dropping the rear end to replace bushings and shocks (maybe springs) and any other maint while in there (emission hoses etc) I'm getting my parts list together and was wondering if there are any bolts I need to order, These would be under the 'Single Use' category which means if the bolt is removed it should be replaced.
I know several members have done this rear end work so I'm looking for input.

 

There are quite a few which are listed as "do not reuse" in some parts of JTIS but not in others. In other places it says don't reuse too often, I think this is due to the thread lock material applied to the new bolts. So in my humble opinion I think it is ok to reuse the old bolts if they are in good condition and if you clean them up and put on your own thread lock.

I ended up buying a few as mine were so rusty.


If you remove your axel shafts from the diff then it is recommended to replace the nuts as they are a special crimped bolts to lock on to the studs.
