Features

  • Felt construction for effective sealing

★ Traditional felt seal to original specifications. Important maintenance part for the propeller shaft.

Application

Suitable for Dodge WC series vehicles in both 4x4 and 6x6 configuration. Fitted to the slip yoke (sliding coupling) of front and rear propeller shafts. For 6x6 models (WC-62, WC-63), multiple pieces are required for the intermediate shafts.

Installation notes

Fit the felt ring around the slip yoke before fitting the retainer with the four folded tabs. Ensure the slip splines are clean and free from old grease. The ring must sit properly against the retainer to seal effectively.

Compatibility

Fits all Dodge WC 4x4 models (WC-51, WC-52, WC-53, WC-54, WC-56, WC-57, WC-58) and WC 6x6 models (WC-62, WC-63). Not suitable for rubber lip seals — this is an original-type felt seal.

Historical context

Felt oil seals were standard on WWII military vehicles. They were combined with a metal retainer with four folded tabs to hold the seal in place on the slip yoke of the propeller shaft.
