Dana 25 Front Axle Parts for Jeep CJ6
Wheel Bearings, Axle Shafts, U-Joints & Seals at a Glance (1955-1965).
Why the Dana 25 Front Axle in the Jeep CJ6 Needs Regular Attention.
The Dana 25 served as the front axle in the Jeep CJ6 into the mid-1960s, transferring power from the driveshaft through the U-joints and axle shafts to the wheels whenever four-wheel drive is engaged. Decades of moisture, sand, and vibration in off-road use take their toll on the U-joints, pinion bearings, and seals – driveline play, oil leaking at the differential cover, or worn king pin bearings are the typical result. Wheel bearings and hubs also wear from the constant load, and steering knuckle seals harden and let moisture in. Anyone restoring a CJ6 chassis or driving it off-road should check the entire front axle regularly for bearing play, leaks, and U-joint wear to prevent follow-on damage to the differential.
- Axle Shafts & Seals: The complete left axle shaft and the matching inner axle seal for oil-tight sealing.
- Wheel Hubs & Bearings: Axle hubs left or right, along with the complete wheel bearing nut kit for the wheel bearing setup.
- Driveline & U-Joints: The axle shaft U-joint and the pinion nut for reliable power transfer.
- Differential Bearings & Gaskets: The outer pinion bearing kit and the differential cover gasket against oil leaks.
- Steering Knuckle Components: The king pin bearing and the right steering knuckle housing for the steering geometry.
