Application
These universal joints fit the front and rear propshafts of CJ-2A (1946-1949), CJ-3A (1949-1953), CJ-3B (1953-1964) and M38 (1950-1952) vehicles. 4 universal joints are required per vehicle: two per propshaft (one at the transfer case end and one at the axle end).
Installation notes
Before fitting, check that the yokes and propshaft ends are clean and undamaged. Ensure the bearing cups click properly into place and the circlips are correctly fitted. After fitting, grease the universal joint via the grease nipple until fresh grease is visible at the seals. Check periodically for play by moving the propshaft back and forth.
Compatibility
Please note: this universal joint does NOT fit vehicles with Cleveland-style universal joints (which used a retaining strap with bolts). Some Willys Trucks and Station Wagons had the Cleveland-type. Check your original universal joints before ordering. Also does not fit M151-series vehicles.
Historical context
The Spicer universal joint was the standard cross for most post-war civilian Willys jeeps. The design with four bearing cups and cruciform spider proved extremely reliable in the heavy off-road use for which these vehicles were designed.
