Application
Fits vehicles with Dana 25 or Dana 27 closed knuckle front axle. Categories listed include: MB, CJ-2A, CJ-3A, M38, M38A1 and CJ-3B models. Used where the axle shaft enters the axle housing, adjacent to the differential.
Installation notes
Check the axle shaft for damage before fitting the new seal. Thoroughly clean the contact surface. Lubricate the seal with low-grease axle oil before installation. Ensure correct positioning - the seal must sit evenly around the shaft without twisting.
Compatibility
Specific to Dana 25 and Dana 27 closed knuckle front axles. Not compatible with later open-knuckle Dana 30/44 designs. Verify whether your vehicle has a Dana 25 (until approx. 1960-1965) or Dana 27 (from approx. 1961-1971). When in doubt: check the identification plate on the axle tube.
Historical context
The Dana 25 and 27 closed knuckle front axles were used in military Jeeps from 1941 and in civilian CJ models until the early 1970s. This robust construction with oil seals and felt seals withstood severe off-road conditions.
