Application
This felt seal is used on the front axle of Dodge WC-series lorries, both 4x4 and 6x6 versions. Fits early and late front axle variants. Essential component when overhauling knuckles and axle ends.
Installation notes
The felt strip is placed around the knuckle pin between knuckle and flange cover. For fitting, the strip can be cut at the top. Always inspect the sealing surfaces on the knuckle pin for wear grooves — if deep grooves are present, the knuckle must be replaced or repaired with a speedy sleeve to ensure proper sealing. Fill knuckle with approximately 1.4 kg NLGI #2 grease after fitting.
Compatibility
Fits all Dodge WC-series vehicles with closed-knuckle front axle, both early and late versions, 4x4 and 6x6 variants. Also suitable for post-war M37 Dodge lorries and civilian Power Wagon models with comparable front axle.
Historical context
This felt seal was standard equipment on Dodge WC-series lorries from WWII and remained in use on post-war M37 and civilian Power Wagon models. The simple yet effective design retained grease inside and kept dirt out of the knuckles.
