Ruwag Spring Washer Zinc Plated 5mm (50) is listed as an auto-part option. Match the photos, SKU, part details, side or position with the item being replaced before ordering

Ruwag Spring Washer Zinc Plated 5mm (50) is an auto-part listing that should be matched against the vehicle or part currently being replaced. Use the product title, photos, SKU and category as the main reference points.

Use these listing details while checking the part: Product identity: this part; SKU: BB-405442; Condition: new part; Vehicle wording from title: Ruwag Spring Washer.

Compare the part in the photos against the old component on the vehicle. Look at the shape, side or position, mounting points, plugs, brackets, ports and any number stamped or labelled on the item.

Where the title includes a year, model, engine or trim detail, treat that information as part of the match. Small differences between vehicle versions can change the correct replacement part.

Use these listing details while checking this item: Product identity: this part; SKU: BB-405442; Condition: new part; Vehicle wording from title: Ruwag Spring Washer.

Before payment, compare the listing photos with the old part from more than one angle. Focus on the parts that decide fitment: shape, side, mounting points, plugs, ports, brackets, stamped numbers and any visible trim or facelift differences.

If the vehicle is still assembled, ask for a clear photo of the current part or take one before ordering. A photo check helps avoid buying a similar-looking item that belongs to a different year range, trim level, engine variant or body shape.

Helpful product answers
What is the primary use of the Ruwag Spring Washer Zinc Plated 5mm?
The Ruwag Spring Washer Zinc Plated 5mm is designed to prevent loosening of fasteners due to vibration or torque. It provides a locking action by exerting a spring force between the fastener head and the substrate. This makes it ideal for applications where maintaining tightness is critical, such as in machinery or automotive assemblies.
Why is the zinc plating important on these spring washers?
Zinc plating offers corrosion resistance, protecting the spring washers from rust and environmental damage. This extends the washer's lifespan, especially in humid or outdoor conditions. The plating also provides a smooth surface finish, which helps reduce friction during installation and removal.
Can I reuse the Ruwag Spring Washer after removal?
It is generally not recommended to reuse spring washers because they lose their tension and locking ability once compressed. Reusing them can lead to fastener loosening and potential safety issues. Always replace spring washers with new ones to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
What is a common mistake when installing spring washers and how can I avoid it?
A common mistake is over-tightening the fastener, which can flatten the spring washer and reduce its locking effectiveness. To avoid this, tighten the fastener to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications. Using a torque wrench helps ensure the correct tension without damaging the washer.
Are these spring washers suitable for Trade Partners requiring bulk quantities?
Yes, the Ruwag Spring Washer Zinc Plated 5mm is available in packs of 50, making it convenient for Trade Partners who need bulk quantities for projects or resale. For larger or custom orders, Trade Partners can contact Brits Brothers™ directly through their Trade Partner program for tailored support and pricing.
