driveshaft rotary motion from the
reciprocal (in-out) motion of the u
joint. Reciprocal motion is
absorbed inside a sealed sleeve and
the rotary motion is absorbed by a
second seal positioned on the outer
surface of the sleeve assembly. “Z
-wiper” seals are held firmly
against the shaft to prevent conta
minants from damaging the seal
assembly. Planet pinion posts
(shafts) are cast in the hub to
increase strength and ease of
service.

Increased strength has been
added with a new ball-and-socket
kingpin design. A steel ball fits
between two metal socket halves
and is sealed with an O-ring to
keep dirt out and grease in.
A “flip-up” steering stop is
adjusted by loosening a cap screw
and rotating it to predetermined
stops at SO, 42,34, and 2S degrees.
The high-pivot-point axle mount
ing permits the axle to oscillate a
full 10 degrees before contacting
the fixed axle slops. This design

four-pinion, clutch-type, limited
slip differential that automatically
applies torque to the wheel with
the greatest traction. Turning
radius remains the same as for trac
