Dana 25 Tracta Joint

    jpflat2a what's that noise?

    I was having a discussion with member Glenn about the rarity of this front axle shaft u-joint and whether anyone here has ever seen or discovered one in their D25 front axle ? It would most likely be a very very early Dana 25, GPW, MB ?
    I have this joint sitting on my desk less the axle ends.
    What he and I have found so far:

    Jeep Willys MB GPW CJ2A NOS Right front inner tracta joint shaft

    I want to say my dad's '46 2a has them, but it's been a long time since I've seen the inside of his axles. Would they go as late as early '46?

    I'll ask him.... See if he remembers. :rolleyes:

    Edit: Nevermind. His have the balls. He remembers because they flew all over his garage floor a few weeks ago. :lol:

    Mods, you can delete this post if you want.

    The wiper seal bolts originally had a tag if they were tracta joints. Not that tags always survive 75 years of service.
