Question:
1. The washers appear bowl shaped. Does the bowl top point toward the hitch or the head of the bolt. A diagram would remove any ambiguity in your answer 2. Would thread lock be appropriate in this installation?

Expert Reply:
The washers that are included with trailer hitch # 24819, are conical tooth washers similar to # 01292006-020-01. You are correct, they are sort of bowl shaped. The tooth end goes towards the hitch. I have included a link to the installation instructions for the hitch.
Using a thread locker like Loc-Tite, # LT37643, can be done but it is not necessary. The conical tooth washer prevents the bolt from backing out.
