This is a simple question and I feel asking it is weird. In my trade, aircraft maintenance, lock washers always go under the nut when it’s a nut/bolt assembly.
When I disconnected my front driveshaft the lockwashers were under the head of the bolt. I immediately thought what idiot did this. So for s***s and giggles I looked in the FSM and the pic appears to show exactly that! Am I misinterpreting the diagram or do the lock washers actually go under the head of the bolt
I did read in another post how to replace the u-joints in your 80
That the washers do go under the head of the bolt on the diff end.
This was the only place I could find the mention of the washers for the driveshafts.
Can anybody explain why under the head of the bolt instead of the nut?
Thanks
