Anyone know a good source for M38 tires. I have 7x16 NDTs with the square shoulder and would probably buy the same type. Who has the best prices these days?

Thanks

Wow this diagram was really helpful. I had the one from the manual but this one with the colors and descriptions really answered a lot of questions for me.

Thanks for posting it.

Wes, Joe, everyone, thanks for the help. Here are my finished springs. Some handy data to check springs for sag, or to help a spring shop re-arch:

Front:
- Distance between eyes center to center straight line unloaded - 34 3/4"
- Arch unloaded - 3 3/4" (distance from top leaf to line drawn between ...

Well said! I feel the same way. The benefit of this site, Wes, and others has been tremendous.

Got it. Thanks so much for the quick reply!

Perfect! Many thanks!

Any rear end specialists out there? With the wheel bearing on the axle and the axle in the housing (spline end in the differential) even with no shims there is too much axle (in and out) play. I'm looking at the schematics and it looks like there is a block or spacer in the middle of the ...

How hard should it be to drive the cones onto the axle, and the cup into the axle housing? The TM makes it sound easy (… place the axle into the housing, then tap ...

Does anyone have much experience with these? I had Bendix and am replacing them with Cardan.

If I understand what I'm seeing in the manual, the wheel turning angle for the Cardan is greater than the Bendix, so I don't need to reset the turn stops. Is that correct?

I haven't found info on ...

Looks like I will need at least one original wheel. Anyone have some sitting around?

Yeah, that makes sense - a lot. Unfortunately I'm one of the ones that've got the bug and want to rebuild as it was. I'm trying to use every original (on the jeep) part I can - surprisingly the jeep seems to be mostly original.

They're 16 inch. But I haven't tried to measure the width.

I wondered if they were for some sort of hub cap.

Wow, that's great Wes. Thanks! Standing by sir.

Ok, does anyone know what this is? My M38 has two correct/original wheels on the front and two very similar wheels on the back except they have square slots.
