★ This nylon bushing is a proven solution for worn steering column bearings in WWII Dodge WC vehicles and civilian Power Wagons. The nylon version offers superior wear resistance and eliminates the play that occurs in original bearings after years of use.
Application
Dodge WWII WC 1/2 Ton 4x4 (1941-1942), Dodge WWII WC 1-1/2 Ton 6x6 (1943-1945), Dodge/Fargo/De Soto Flat Fender Civilian Power Wagon (1946-1968) and Military Export models (1957-1978).
Installation notes
The bushing is pressed into the lower section of the steering column jacket over the steering column shaft. Installation can be done using a plastic drift pipe and light hammer blows. The bushing centres the shaft in the jacket and provides bearing support at the lower end. Check before installation that the steering column shaft is not worn.
Compatibility
This nylon version replaces the original bronze bearing version (CC1188659). Suitable for both WWII military WC-series and post-war civilian Power Wagons. Not compatible with Dodge WC 3/4 ton models — these have different steering column specifications.
Historical context
The original WWII Dodge WC-series used a bronze bearing in the steering column that was prone to wear. This nylon replacement bushing was developed as a durable solution to the common problem of play and rattling in the steering column of older vehicles.
