★ Timken tapered roller bearings were adopted as standard in military vehicles from the 1940s onwards due to their superior load capacity and reliability under severe conditions.
Application
Suitable for Dodge WC 3/4-ton vehicles (WC-51, WC-52, WC-56, WC-57, WC-58, etc.) and 1-1/2 ton trucks from the period 1942-1945. This is the upper bearing cup in the steering box (steering box upper cup). Also applicable to later post-war models using the same steering box construction.
Installation notes
The cup (outer race) is pressed into the steering box. This cup works together with the corresponding cone and rollers to form a complete tapered roller bearing. When replacing, always replace both components (cup and cone with rollers) and adjust the steering box correctly according to specifications. Check the housing for wear before installing new bearings.
Compatibility
NOTE: This is the cup (outer race) only — the cone (inner race with rollers) must be ordered separately. Not interchangeable with bearings of other dimensions. Timken bearings are interchangeable with bearings of the same part number from other quality manufacturers, but always verify dimensions.
Historical context
Dodge produced over 255,000 WC 3/4-ton trucks between 1942-1945 for the US Army and Allies. Timken supplied the tapered roller bearings for, among other things, the steering boxes of these vehicles, a technology the company had patented in 1898.
