Does your Power Wagon, M-37 or WC have a lot of play in the steering, shimmy of the tires, wandering on the road, require constant herding of the steering wheel, hard rough
uneven effort to turn wheels? Some of the possible causes may lay in front axle
Steering Knuckles and or Tie Rod Ends.
Regardless of the condition of your Power Wagon, M-37 or WC, we are dealing with
unknown wear on internal parts, unknown prior maintenance and possible parts breakage. It is imperative that during a restoration, rebuild, or a vehicle with the above mentioned problems, that the Front Steering Knuckles be torn down and rebuilt.
You MUST have/use a Dodge Shop Manual to properly do this work. This pictorial album
shows step by step how to do the job in pictures and text; however much important
information contained in the Shop Manual is not re-copied here. Consider this as a
supplement to the Dodge Shop Manual
Take your time, do it right, These Knuckles hold the wheels on and control the teering……. IT’S YOUR LIFE!!!
I have created a Step by Step with pictures of the Front End Rebuild on my 'Bandit'.
