★ Essential component for proper operation of the torque reaction spring. The locking plate fits over the bolt head of the torque reaction bolt and is secured to the chassis, thereby locking the bolt against rotation.
Installation notes
The plate mounts to the steering box side of the chassis. The hexagonal cutout fits over the bolt head of the long torque reaction bolt (A6075), the other end is fastened to the frame with a bolt. Install together with the torque reaction spring assembly.
Compatibility
Only for vehicles equipped with torque reaction spring system. This modification was introduced from mid-1942 (October 1942 for Ford GPW) to reduce the tendency to pull left during hard braking. Not all early production MB/GPW vehicles had this system fitted from the factory.
Historical context
The torque reaction spring and associated locking plate were introduced as a production improvement to reduce the jeep's tendency to pull left during hard braking, caused by the forward rolling of the front axle on the springs.
