Compatibility
Not all Ford GPW and Willys MB jeeps were factory-fitted with a torque reaction spring. Early production models and some later variants did not have this system. Check whether your vehicle was originally equipped with this system or if you are installing a retrofit kit.
Historical context
The torque reaction spring was developed by Willys in 1942 at the request of the Quartermaster Corps as the A-6157 retrofit kit. The system was intended to compensate for the jeep's tendency to pull to the right during hard braking.
