Installation notes
The plates are fixed to the steering knuckle with two of the retaining bolts of the knuckle seal. Originally these plates were fitted to inform mechanics about the type of axle joint during maintenance.
Compatibility
Specific for front axles with Bendix-type universal joints. Not interchangeable with Rzeppa or Tracta identification plates. The Bendix joint has 5 large balls and was primarily used by Willys during WWII.
Historical context
During the war, three different types of universal joints were used: Rzeppa (primarily Ford), Bendix (primarily Willys) and Tracta. The identification plates helped maintenance personnel recognise the correct type for proper service and repair.
