New Front Axle Shaft Assembly for Passenger Side – Part#: 909460
Q: I will be replacing my Rzeppa style axles with the Spicer type that you offer and I have two questions. One how does one install lockout hubs when there is a snap ring at the end of the axle, and if you leave the snap ring off will the end play in the axle be OK? Two, I see that the Spicer joint is pre-greasable before it is assembled, but how can it be greased again when it is in a closed knuckle application?
- A: Typically if you have the snap ring style axle shaft the length wont cause any problems. It just bolts up. The spicer style has a grease fitting that usually is just a one time grease.
Q: When I removed the passenger side front axle from a 53 CJ-3A the balls fell out of the joint. Is this normal or is the joint worn out?
- A: Sounds like you have worn balls on the joint. If you still have all the parts you could put them back together but they probably need to be replaced.
Q: Switching to this Axle Shaft, will that eliminate the need to grease inside the front hub?
- A: You would still want to grease it just to make sure it is all lubricated but yes this is a spicer style joint that can be pregreased.
Q: I understand these replace the RZeppa but I don’t see the threaded end that the RZeppa has. Are there additional parts needed?
- A: It comes with a snap ring to convert you over. Only really early ones were threaded.
Q: Are all ’46 CJ-2A front axles Dana 25’s ? Seems to me that when I did the rebuild (14 years ago) that mine was a Spicer 21 with a Bendex joint. Am I correct or fuzzy in the brain?
- A: Yes all CJ-2A’s or any 4wd Willys thru 65 were Dana 25. Starting the the 60’s some CJ-5’s had a Dana 27 option.
Q: Does anything have to be changed or adjusted when replacing the bendix style with this?
- A: Sometimes you have to take out the bushing at the end of your axle housing tube for clearance. Other than that you are all set to slide in.
Q: What is the overall complete length? Also mine has a splined nut at the end past the 10 splines.
- A: 21-5/8
Q: Am I correct in assuming these axles and U joints replace the original Bendix axles with the ball type joint?
- A: Yes that is correct. They are direct replacements.
Q: Am I correct to assume these are 10 spline axles?
- A: Yes, that is correct.
