Installation notes
Completely dismantle the trackrod ends, thoroughly clean all parts and check for wear. Replace seals, springs and damaged components from the kit. When reassembling, measure the distance between trackrod centres to maintain toe setting. After fitting, front axle alignment is required.
Compatibility
Check the diameter of your trackrod ends before fitting: early MB/GPW/CJ-2A often use 11/16" diameter, whilst M38/M38A1 models have 3/4" diameter. Thread varies by position (left/right). Seal type differs between manufacturers: MB had metal cup with spring, GPW had felt, later models rubber.
Historical context
The trackrod ends on WWII jeeps were subject to severe terrain conditions. Original manufacturers used different sealing systems – Willys with metal cup and spring, Ford with felt seals. Overhaul kits make it possible to retain original parts during restoration.
