Re: 12 bolt shoppers beware !!!!!!
A fast
 question if you please.12-bolt rears actually refer the the number of bolts used to affix the ring gear to the carrier - correct? Are the 10 bolt and 12 bolt housings the same size? Can a 12 bolt carrier be installed in a 10 bolt rear? I wouldn't think so. Can someone just clarify for me? Jim, why would someone disguise a 12 bolt rear as a 10 bolt? I'm lost on that one..... Steve
