★ This tie rod end is designed for the heavier steering systems of 6×6 Dodge lorries. Please note: this component is NOT suitable for 1/2 ton WC models which use a lighter steering system.
Application
This tie rod end is suitable for Dodge 3/4 ton 6×6 lorries (WC-62, WC-63), civilian Power Wagons and M37-series vehicles sharing the heavier steering system with the 6×6 models. The component is compatible with the reinforced steering arm and draglink used on these vehicles. NOT suitable for 1/2 ton 4×4 Dodge WC models using a lighter steering system.
Installation notes
Before fitting, check that the taper and thread are free from damage. Grease the ball joint if possible via the grease nipple. Use a split pin through the castellated nut for locking. After fitting, have the wheel alignment (toe-in) checked and adjusted if necessary to 0-1/8 inch (preferably 1/16 inch). Ensure correct tightening torques according to original specifications.
Compatibility
This tie rod end is ONLY suitable for 3/4 ton 6×6 Dodge lorries, civilian Power Wagons and M37-series vehicles with the heavier steering system. NOT interchangeable with 1/2 ton 4×4 WC models (WC-51, WC-52, WC-53, etc.) using a lighter steering system. Whilst the heavier steering system of the 6×6 is interchangeable in combination with some 3/4 ton 4×4 components, tie rods must always be replaced as a set to guarantee correct steering geometry.
Historical context
The Dodge 6×6 lorries (WC-62 and WC-63) were produced from 1943 as 1½ ton variants of the well-known 3/4 ton 4×4 Dodge Weapons Carriers. With an extended chassis and additional rear axle, these lorries were designed for troop transport and heavy loads over difficult terrain, where the reinforced steering system was essential for reliable steering under combat conditions.
