Default It's supposed

to put pressure on your cap bearings to prevent the bolts from backing out and aluminum gets rid if heat faster than steel.
also look into a solid pinion spacer instead of the crush collar,

The TA girdle is a great piece and worth the money

It's purpose is not to prevent the bolts from backing out, it's to prevent carrier bearing cap deflection.

I thought all it did was enhance the bling factor when you are working under the car?
btw, I have one as well.
