 Topic: Axle Shaft IdentificationPosted: 27 Nov. 2022 at 11:00am |

I posted this in my other thread but was hoping to get a quick answer so I can order parts while they are on sale this weekend. After further research, I am assuming this might be a Bendix shaft but I have not seen any pictures where the splines hare ribbed like this. Is this likely Bendix or is it some other brand?

No way to tell what type axle joint that one has without pulling the hub.

If you can't get there in a Jeep you don't need to be there!

What pappy said x2 except that it’s possible to pull the knuckle fill plug. With a strong tight light beam and experience one can see and determine the axle joint configuration. If you provide the year of the Jeep one can make a sketchy guess as to the type.

The jeep is a 48. The other side was Rzeppa with the threaded end.

Right 1948’s all use threaded end play adjustments on front shafts.
So it was obviously replaced and it could be any but most common without threaded shafts would be 1955-1971 the shafts. No Spicer front axle shafts we’re ever threaded because the we’re not around prior to 1955. Jeep got away from threaded end play adjustments early in the 1950’s. That said it could also be a late mfg Bendix or late mfg Rzeppa.

I’ve used Sean’s ID method though the fill hole, it works good and should help you identify what you have.
