Ring gear bolts came loose
So my car got towed home today. 3 of the bolts on the ring gear came out and were bouncing around. No damage to the gears thankfully, but as I checked the other bolts they are all loose.
Question is: Can I put new bolts in and try it from there? Is there anything else I should look for?

If the gears don't have damage then throw a new set of bolts in with red loctite. Then check the wear pattern. Safety wire is a good idea but you have to take the carrier out. I have never had a failure from the ring gear fasteners backing out. I have only safety wired one set if ring gear bolts and that is the 9 inch carrier i am using now.

Red loctite is used not blue.
